considering engineering my own LED focus-assist light.
But then again I wonder how difficult it is to create something
that mounts in the flash hot-shoe (without damaging it or the
contacts); thus one could easily attach there a flashlight. The
other issue then, which I've hinted at in my previous email, is how to
switch the light on and off without changing the camera position.
(Usually the flashlight switches have to be pressed or pulled quite
hard.)
Good luck,
Ciprian.
You could make one from a hot-shoe PC Sync adapter with a plastic foot
that would slide into the hot-shoe without damaging the camera.
Here's one example:

The third image shows what the bottom of the foot looks like. I've also
seen them with just a plain plastic foot; one that doesn't have the brass
1/4-inch screw insert.
