My favorite source of information, Japanese DC.Watch.Impress web, has posted another from their Ricoh modification articles. This time, it's not that hardcore modification as their last article. In this new article you can learn how to create some interesting Flash diffusers, which would make the onboard flash much smoother and not as strong as without it.

Here is the article translated to classic googlish...

Googlish or not, that's "saw" and "camera" in the same sentence! Yikes! :shock: :D

Hehe these dc.watch guys does terrible (but highly interesting) things with Ricoh cameras. It seems the Ricoh cameras not only improve the photographer's creativity but also do-it-yourself skills ;)

Rather than read, I just looked at his pictures and I thought it was very clever and the results were quite impressive considering his tools and materials.
 
Dc.watch.impress posted another of their Ricoh camera customizations! They must really love Ricohs? ;)

This time, they modified HA-3 tube, to make it mountable on P10 and added the Raynox Macro lens and flash diffuser to make the P10 even better Macro performer. You can "read" the article here:
