Description
This diVUser fits the Olympus M.Zuiko ED 60mm f/2.8 lens. It engages the bayonet mount. This provides soft, directional lighting for intraoral dental photography. It is best used with cameras that have a strong pop up flash, such as the Lumix GH4. If your micro four thirds camera does not have a pop up flash, It can be used the in conjunction with the FL-200L flash.
My hygienist’s favorite kit is the Panasonic Lumix GH4. Color isn’t as faithful as more current cameras, but the pop up flash plenty strong for dental shots and the grip is really secure and comfortable. It’s not the lightest, but the weight balance is perfect, so it’s less finger strain than the smaller E-PL cameras used in the Blue Sky Bio kit. (which I like, but I am technically competing against). Battery life is ridiculously good for a mirrorless camera. For ortho photography, this is a great setup. For surgery, the older color science doesn’t render pink tissue as well as I’d like.

If you want better color fidelity, consider the newer GX9. I’d put their This includes a kit lens which can do full arch dental shots, but nothing closer. We make a divuser for the included kit lens, but we would highly recommend the Olympus 60mm macro lens.

The teaching professional’s kit for this system would be:
- Panasonic Lumix G9 – a beast of a camera with longer battery life and faster operational speed.
- Olympus 60mm macro lens
- Olympus STF-8 Twin Flash – diffusers are included. It’s an excellent flash. Much smaller than the Canon and Nikon equivalents.
- A upgraded divuser for the STF-8 flash is under future consideration. Since the flash is expensive, and users are few, there may not be enough demand to justify a production run.
Price breakdown for the diVUser:
$130 for a basic diVUser if your camera’s pop up flash is strong enough on its own. These are 3d printed out of PETG, the same material used for plastic soda bottles. It is chemically inert and recyclable.
+$30 if you need the FL-200L flash, which requires a custom extension tube to be printed.
+$140 if you are want a custom logo. This covers a one time logo setup and proofing fee. A vector file (eps, ai, svg) or a high resolution bitmap (jpg, png, bmp) is required. We will contact you by email. If your logo is unsuitable for 3d printing, your design fee will be refunded. Complex designs, or ones requiring extensive setup or printing (multi-color, multi-process, etc) may be invoiced an additional fee.
+$10 more if you are printing a custom logo we have already designed for you. Complex designs, or ones requiring extensive setup or printing (multi-color, multi-process, etc) may be invoiced an additional fee.
