Here is my setup, looks like an alien, take me to your leader.

Thanks Clarky. Your rig is a lot more sophisticated than mine, but it answers my query.

Where did you get the arms?

I made them out of a couple of old desk lamps, a couple of 1/4" screw fittings and some silver solder, quite simple really.

I have an early series 1 Pentax mount if the lens needs one.

Did version 1 & 2 come with a detachable mount : I don't think it did.

The D-FA 100mm macro does not have one of the highest build qualities.

Thanks for explaining Steve. I knew there would be a good reason.

Perhaps it's not a good idea to hang the flash head from the filter thread of a D-FA lens then ! ! !

I wouldn't hang anything from the barrel of a D-FA macro lens, any excess weight causes the focus barrel off kilter and that renders the quick shift inoperable. I found that out when trying some reverse stacking with a 50mm 1.7 attached. not a pretty sight.

If you found it in a bag with an Olympus camera, wouldn't it likely have an Olympus mount : Have you tried it on your pentax :

I have the version 3 made by Komine and its a stellar lens, it has the A setting, I believe version 2 is just a good optically if not identical, i'm not sure.
