Konica Minolta Sony Fiber Optic Macro Light System

Custom made macro illuminator using flexible fiber optic light guides and the cameras own built in flash.

Provides TTL exposure with any lens attached within the flash power range.
Adjustable assembly allows intense illumination very close to the lens for extreme macro and micro use with the lens stopped down.

Constructed of ABS tubing and brass.
Uses stock B&L fiber optic guides (expensive). I'm planning on assembling my own fiber optic guides soon to allow more customization.

Unique clip retainer attaches the adapter securely to the camera without tools.
