Just curious, can a Lightsphere (original) for a 580EX be made to fit a 550EX without damaging either the Lightsphere or the flash?

Anyone know?

550 is larger than the 580 correct? So I sincerely doubt it, unless you can construct some sort of adapter, which would be possible.

Or you could always construct a "Mystery Modifier" out of a styrofoam icechest :-)

You need the P2 size, B+H has them here.

Okay, wasn't sure if the 550 was larger or smaller than the 580. I have the 580 and matching lightspere. I wanted to let Jemesen use it for his tests. But he has a 550 EX.

So from what it sounds like, we would need a different version. I figured if the 580 was bigger than the 550 we could fit it over and hold it with some tape.

Can anyone confirm which is larger?

Yeah, the Lightsphere web site confirms that the 550 is larger.
