If you ordered this flash from this site: http://www.123photosupply.co.uk/lencarta-smartflas...

Would you expect to get the Lencarta Standard Reflector as featured in the picture and mentioned in the description?

Not the clearest of ads. Probably not, but I can see why people would.

Why wouldn't you expect to receive it? It doesn't say "reflector pictured not included" or anything like that.

I first read it as 'When fitted' but it doesn't say that. My mistake, yes, I would expect it to come with the reflector.

I would have expected it to come included too. The key is the missing word "When" which would make it clear it was not included. I would challenge the ad as being misleading.

It says 'head' in one place but 'fitted with' in another. Add that to the photo and I think you have a case for a misleading advert.

I have requested that they either send a reflector to me or refund £9.99 to me so I can purchase one myself.
I'll see what happens...

I think you do have a case there. On Lencarta website, it says 'Fitted with the standard reflector (not included)....', and 'Please note that these flash heads are supplied WITHOUT a reflector'. but not on the ad you posted.

In other words, copy and paste but with words deliberately removed?
