Macro Ring flash

[britt777]

Hello all, I was hoping to get some imput on a good flash to get for my 100mm 2.8 L macro lens. I have read a lot about the ring flashes, but would like to hear some feed back from others who do shoot macro. Thanks so much.

I don't own the flash, but heard a lot of it. It's a nice flash to do macro job. It also have a modelling-light feature. You also can split the power between the half-left and half-right ring light.

If budget doesn't matter, go for the Macro Twin Light, it's more expensive than the Ring Light, but it will bring more pleasant picture than the macro ring light.

If can, buy Canon, since so far it's the only macro ring light that support E-TTL. it will help you to evaluate better flash exposure.
Sigma also announce that they release a new macro ring light, but don't know whether it's also support E-TLL or not.
