There’s only one thing I can say that describes the Ray Flash Ring Flash adapter: Cool.
...
The advantage of this unit is that it’s lightweight, (weighs just one pound) more portable and less expensive than an actual ring flash. I own other devices like this that work on my studio lights, including one from Bowens. But the Ray Flash is lighter, easier to mount and cheaper to buy.
...
For the $199, you can’t go wrong. Highly recommended.

When I received the RayFlash a week ago, I was immediately struck by how well the thing seemed to be put together...The Ray Flash opens up lots of opportunities for out-of-studio macro photography, creative off-the-cuff portraits, and all kinds of other stuff I can't think of right now. I look forward to using it more, and hope this review has been helpful to anyone considering addng the RF to their arsenal. Oh, and if you call ExpoImaging (they're based in Watsonville, Calif.), say hi to Lizzy--she's great!

David Hobby on Strobist.com posts on a video review of the Ray Flash by John "Jean-Luc" Ricard:
Mad props to NYC photographer John "Jean-Luc" Ricard, for boldly going where no one had gone before. He put together a video that tests the light quality differences between a $1,000+ professional ring flash and the speedlight-based Ray Flash ring flash adapter.

Editor's Choice 2008: Lighting
Lighting Product of the Year:
ExpoImaging Ray Flash Ring Flash Adapter
"A sophisticated, solidly-built adapter that slides over the front-facing head of a hotshoe-mount flash -- for now, only the Canon 580EX II, Nikon SB-800, and some of those lines' lesser and/or older units -- this ingenious product gives photographs the crisp, electric look of a studio ring flash at a fraction of its cost."

The Bottomline:
Would I recommend the Ray Flash? Well, I’m buying one myself. The minor things are too minor to be deal-killers, and the advantages (great price, lightweight, small size) make it pretty much a no-brainer for anyone who wants to get a ring flash look, without the ring flash price and weight.
