This set of rings replaces a set of Kenko rings for NIKON I purchased several years ago. The Kenko rings were OK when used one at a time but they were not tight enough to use in combination without getting error messages due to the electronics not communicating between the lens, tubes and body. I wish NIKON would make a quality automatic ring set like Canon does that would provide the electronic contacts to not loose functionality of the lens when extended. While the Phottix rings are advertised as metal, they are not all metal construction. They do fit together better than the Kinko rings and I have heard from friends that the newer Kenko rings are improved over my older set. I can say the internal light baffling is improved on the Phottix and I like the lens release tabs better than the Kenko design.

Subsribe to our newsletter Testimonials I needed information on boots for a trip to Antarctica. The person who helped me over the phone was extremely informative with first hand knowledge on what we would need. The price of the boots was better than any other on-line site or any of our local stores. We were facing a deadline as to getting the boots in time for our trip but the NSN shipped them the quickest way possible. There was a problem with one set of boots and NSN paid for the return shipping and refunded our money---without any hassle!!!!! I strongly recommend them--for their knowledge, their products and their customer service!!

I made my first purchase from NatureScapes this month. It certainly will not be the last. Their friendly staff answered my questions and everything I wanted was in stock. Great deals on the products I wanted too and fast shipping. Why look anywhere else ?

The reason it gets 4 and not 5 stars from me is that it is a way-too overpriced for what it is and the value it provides. I take it as a charge for an innovative idea!!
Advantages: 1. When used properly, it definitely accomplishes the purpose it claims to serve. 2. Ease of fixing on and removing from flash; but this also leads to a disadvantage of sorts as described below. Disadvantages: 1. I have to always hold it pushed upwards to keep its position parallel to the lens. Otherwise, the line-of-sight of the lens and beamer cross at a much shorter distance than where the subject usually is, leading to sub-optimal results. 2. It is pretty common for a lot of us to use two bodies out in the field. As the fixing mechanism on the flash is flimsy (while easy), there is always a chance of it falling off, if it is on the camera+flash not in use (usually hanging on my body).
