Oh, I see. I just tried to search the eBay and found really plethora of such devices, none of which, sadly, seems to match my Metz flash.

I should keep looking or try to make one of these myself, even if it will be crude.

Depending on how macro you intend, don't forget that the flash tube ceases to be a point source of light and becomes progressively more like a softbox of potentially gigantic propotions. At high levels of magnification, even the bare tube with no diffuser will be producing softer looking light. Might be worth experimenting a bit before buying anything.

These things are very large.

Any diffusor on the Metz would also work nicely. A ring flash is not
always the best option.

Thus, I was thinking - is there such a thing that can be attached to the
head of a general flash, say my Metz 40MZ-2, that will transmit the light to
the front of the lens, just like the ring macro flash?
