No.. don't get me wrong. I don't mind about the OT. It just that maybe 2 months down the line, I don't think it will be easy to find this lens laminating discussion since it was discussed in this thread about shoe bracketing. :lol: |

the more i look at the pic i'm more convinced that the bracket is a separate assembly from the base. since this thing is already out of warranty, no harm opening up the base to confirm right? if so then you can salvage the part from those old dead flashes. |

Yes.. I thought so too. Tha's why I balked at the $150 tag. The only thing is when dismantling, may accidentally broke other wires.. or stuff fell out of place. But it doesnt bother me, because I think things can be put back. Thanks psccy for the offer. I open up and see how first. |

Haha .. I guess the 6 course meal was too good that you forgot hehe... I taken the base apart and epoxy-ed the base. Take a while for the epoxy to dry, after a few hours still feels sticky. I will post a macro picture of the base interior later. |

cooool... btw epoxy should be left to cure for at least 12 hours, regardless of what the packaging says. partly i think its our tropical humidity. and yeah, the lunch was good :lol:
