<p>Hi Everyone i have another Lee friedlander related question. <br>
I have a hassalblad superwide and have been using a number of on camera flashes. To use the flash i have a bracket from custombraket.com this works well but is very bulky and cumbersome i have found a video of lee friedlander and have taken a still from it which shows a small bracket attached to the eyepiece hot shoe which the flash fits to. <br>
i have heard this bracket was custom built. custombracket.com wont make it any one got any other ideas?<br>
i live in the UK but will have it made in the US if thats what it takes<br>

<p>hello everyone<br>
I have a question about useing a flash for a hassalblad superwide. I have tried pretty much everything, an assortment of metz flashs and speedlights etc put i just cant get enough coverage, its ok when you are fairly close to a subject but when you have a person in frame from tip to toe the drop of on the edges is considerable. But Frielander can do it HOW DOES HE!!! its driving me mad on careful study of his images he has used a ring flash but i cant even get that to work, the ring flash that i can find that will attach to the front of the lens of course appears in frame. and i dont think he has used a ring flash for a while.<br>
I have been looking at the portrait Avedon took of him where Friedlander has his camera round his neck, unfortunatly where the flash is its cut of by the edge of the frame but it looks like he has something attached to the Hassalblad viewfinder which is a slightly newer version than the one i have.<br>
In the reflections of some of his photos im sure there is a metz in there somewhere (and yes ive got the wideangle adaptor on) and there is some sort of frame/grip around the camera with a flash on top.<br>
if any one has any idea no matter how small please tell me.<br>
I need your help.</p>
