What flash are you using and where to get it and the holder?

BTW, is the camera built in flash good enough for this purpose? thanks.

Hi, this looks easy but it is so hard as you have to align both the center of the mag and the lens to be perfectly match. I tried this and the quality isn't that good. Can you share how did you align the center of them to match?

Thank you

ok this is how i do it, 1st you have to make sure that the mag is the same size as
the lens, file or sand the mag round so it fit in well

get a paper from cut some grove

then put the paper over the mag and use duct tape and tape over it

wala there you go and its done

hope it help
(sorry for the over expo picture)

have to hunt for the same size then, thx for the tips.
wat is the lens size you brought?
