Yes, but do *you*? :-) Those things are as rare as hen’s teeth!

Interesting, as I think he uses at least one of those two lenses.
But thanks for pointing out that the gender of the reflectors he sells is wrong
for the 20 and 38. Saved me some money and yet another bit of useless kit,
cluttering up my photo gear cabinet.

I was thinking a bit of plastic milk jug or yogurt container, formed over the
right sized bowl in a microwave oven, with the right sized hole in the middle,
might just do the job without even the o-ring. If it’s snug, you could just
thread it on the 20 or 38.
