Other than that, yes, it's compatible.

I strongly suspect that the 'stick' is firmly fixed to a plate beneath the carpet and his 'chair' is inside his coat.
Good illusion though.

Nice capture. It's too hot here at the moment for our local fly population to sit still for very long.
Fortunately (apart from the incessant noise) the Cicada season will soon be upon us and I hope to get some stacked shots of them towards the end when they become a bit more lethargic.

Do you have any images to show us taken with your 50mm/1.4 lens reversed?

the Lumiquest is heavy enough to turn the flash head if you you have it attached to the camera in portrait orientation.
The Stofen Omnibounce will be OK though if the flash is close enough to your subject. It gives an even more diffuse light if you angle the flash head up at about 30-45 degrees.
