Abstract: A light-gathering device for transmitting through fiber optic bundles, the light emitted by an electronic flash along with the light from a continuous light source so that relatively small objects may be lit so as to photograph them. A first housing (8) is provided, designed to receive a flash tube (1) of an electronic flash unit, and a "model"(3) emitting continuous light, the first housing (8) being enclosed within a second housing in which there are several openings for inserting the ends of fiber optic bundles (2) whose opposite ends are used for illuminating the object to be photographed. Manual shutters (5, 6, 7) are provided for varying the light intensity from the flash tube to the fiber optics (2). This light gathering device is suitable for taking top-quality color photographs which have the desired lighting effects.
