Retra LSD Ultimate Snoot Kit
The Light Shaping Device — a precision optical snoot for Retra Flash
The Retra LSD (Light Shaping Device) Ultimate is a precision optical snoot that concentrates your strobe's light into a controlled, defined spot for dramatic, low-key lighting. It mounts on the Retra Flash bayonet and uses interchangeable masks to shape the beam — from clean circular spots to creative shapes — making it a favourite tool for macro and artistic underwater photography.
Consider the LSD if you:
- Want precise, controllable spot lighting for macro and creative work
- Shoot a Retra Flash and want a purpose-built optical snoot
- Want to shape light with interchangeable circular and creative masks
- Need a fast, repeatable way to isolate a subject from the background

Why the LSD
Precise, defined light
An optical design projects a clean, hard-edged spot of light with minimal spill, letting you isolate a subject against a dark background for striking low-key images.
Interchangeable masks
Swap circular masks for different spot sizes, or creative masks for shaped light — change the look in seconds without changing your setup.
Built for Retra Flash
Designed around the Retra Flash bayonet and the brighter Pro Max pilot light, which makes aiming the snoot quick and accurate underwater.
