gib_robinson Posted September 21, 2011 Share #1 Â Posted September 21, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) I now have one but have been unable to figure out how it fits on. Does the default "diffuser" have to be removed? Â Thanks, Â --Gib Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Hi gib_robinson, Take a look here SF 58 Optional Diffuser. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
swamiji Posted September 21, 2011 Share #2 Â Posted September 21, 2011 First you have to make sure the retractible card and diffuser are fully retracted. Notice on the Optional Diffuser there are two tabs on one side and a curved piece on the the other. The two tabs fit above the retractible card/diffuser, and the curved piece connect on the other side. It is not that solid of fit, and mine falls off from time to time.

gib_robinson Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share #3 Â Posted September 21, 2011 Thanks Swamiji. It seems like a pretty funky arrangement. Mine falls off too often. Â --Gib Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsh Posted September 22, 2011 Share #4 Â Posted September 22, 2011 The SF 58 Diffuser does come off rather easily, but it is compact. Stofen Diffusers are a good option as well. Both do the job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swamiji Posted September 22, 2011 Share #5 Â Posted September 22, 2011 Stofen Diffusers are a good option as well. Â Which Stofen Diffuser? I went to there website, no mention of the Leica. Maybe the Metz 58-AF2? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsh Posted September 22, 2011 Share #6 Â Posted September 22, 2011 That is correct. The flash heads are the same size. The SF 58 is designed for the M8, M9, R9 and S2 electronics. Otherwise, the 58-AF-2 and the SF 58 are basically the same units. The SF 58 is made by Metz for Leica. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swamiji Posted September 22, 2011 Share #7 Â Posted September 22, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Does that include battery packs? Is the power port the same? I sent an email to Metz to see, and got a non response. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsh Posted September 22, 2011 Share #8 Â Posted September 22, 2011 That I do not know and I have never looked into it. I only use Lithium AA batteries with the SF 58. Â You could order a battery pack to see if it works and if not, return it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
