I've been trying to find a UK supplier for these and the only one i can find (Warehouse Express) is out of stock and can't say when it will be restocked.

Does anyone know of another supplier?

TIA

As far as I know, WE are the UK stockist for Kirk products. I've dealt with Kirk direct from the US so that may be worth trying.

do you need one desperately ?.

If you do I could lend you mine until you get one. if it fits your flash (mine is the fx2 for 550ex flash)

cheers

Thanks for the offer Mark i'm after the FX-4 for a 580ex but no hurry at the moment.

Do you use yours much and does it do the job.

I just logged on to offer a lend having thought about it. Mine's also for a 550EX though. I don't use mine much, but its great when I do.

Thanks Paul, have just this minute come of the Kirk site and according to them i need the FX-3 for the 580ex but the WE ad in practical photographer lists it as the FX-4 for the 580 ex
so i think i'd better be carefull when i do order.

I would say it defiantly works, but i was a bit shocked when i saw what it actually consists of (not much at all).

Dont use it much but when I have its worked well.

I was trying to find one of these too, they seem to also be called "Flash X-tender" (made by kirk). I just ordered one from speedgraphic.co.uk for £30.
