A flash housing for photographic purposes, said flash housing comprising:
- a flash former arranged to generate a flash light,
- a lens arranged to let at least part of the generated flash light out of the flash housing, the lens having a substantially circular cross-section, and
- a flash housing fastener for attachment of a flash light shaping tool, the flash housing fastener configured for attachment of the flash light shaping tool on top of the lens, the flash housing fastener arranged along a border of the lens, for magnetic engagement with a corresponding fastener at the flash light shaping tool, wherein the fastener of the flash light shaping tool is ring shaped and at least partly formed by a ferromagnetic material,
- wherein the flash housing fastener is ring shaped and at least partly formed by a ferromagnetic material, and wherein the flash housing fastener has a fastening surface facing in the main direction of the flash light let out of the lens,
- wherein the flash housing fastener is within an outside perimeter of the flash housing, and
- wherein the fastening surface of the flash housing fastener is configured to connect to the fastener of the flash light shaping tool.
A set comprising a flash housing for photographic purposes and at least one flash light shaping tool, wherein the flash housing comprises a flash former arranged to generate a flash light and a lens arranged to let at least part of the generated flash light out of the flash housing,
- wherein the flash housing and the at least one flash light shaping tool each comprises a respective fastener for magnetic engagement of the flash light shaping tool with the lens, the fastener of the flash housing arranged along a border of the lens and having a fastening surface facing in the main direction of the flash light let out of the lens, for magnetic engagement with the corresponding fastener at the flash light shaping tool, wherein the lens has a substantially circular cross-section,
- wherein the fastener of the flash housing is ring shaped and at least partly formed by a ferromagnetic material,
- wherein at least a part of the fastener of the flash housing is between the flash housing and at least a part of the lens, and
- wherein the fastener of the flash light shaping tool is ring shaped and at least partly formed by a ferromagnetic material arranged to engage with the ring shaped fastener of the flash housing.
A flash light shaping tool for attachment to a flash housing for photographic purposes, said flash housing comprising a flash former arranged to generate a flash light and a lens arranged to let at least part of the generated flash light out of the flash housing, and a flash housing fastener for attachment of a flash light shaping tool, the flash housing fastener configured for attachment of a flash light shaping tool on top of the lens,
- wherein the lens has a substantially circular cross-section,
- wherein the flash housing fastener is ring shaped, is arranged along a border of the lens, has a fastening surface facing in the main direction of the flash light let out of the lens, and is at least partly formed by a ferromagnetic material,
- wherein the flash light shaping tool comprises a first fastener, wherein the first fastener is ring shaped and at least partly formed by a ferromagnetic material arranged to engage magnetically with the ring shaped fastener of the flash housing on top of the lens,
- wherein the flash light shaping tool is configured to engage the fastening surface in a recess of the flash housing, and
- wherein the first fastener of the flash light shaping tool is configured to connect to the fastening surface of the flash housing fastener.
