I have a Vivitar 5600 with the Zoom head and the bare bulb head. I especially like the bare bulb head (67 ws !!) because it's light and really has high quality light (cheap too. I got mine for ~$$30...). I'm getting a spare 4600 body so I can use it regularly (NYC only wants $7.50 for it !!!). Here's the question: There is a little flap on the back of the head that looks like a reflector could be placed there. My local camera shop sez they never heard of Vivitar having such a beast, but recommended that maybe Chimera might have something... any ideas? Anyone have a similar set up? ------------ Jordan Hayes jordan@ucb-vax.BERKELEY.EDU UC Berkeley ucbvax!jordan +1 (415) 835-8767 37' 52.29" N 122' 15.41" W

I have a 283 and Vivtar makes a bracket that attaches to the outside of the flash and allows the use of a bounce card (or reflector, I guess). Howard Moskovitz AT&T Info. Systems attunix!howard
