was wondering what is the best type of flash for macro photography.
a ring flash to fit on the lens or one for the hot shoe.
dont realy fancy paying canon prices so was going to opt for the sigma ones


Canon EOS 30 D EOS 350 D canon eos 5d mk1, 100-400 L / 24-70 L / 70-200 ,canon eos 17-40 LL F4 / 10-22 /50 1.8, Sigma 105mm 2.8

What you buy depends on how "Macro" you want to go & what your working distance is. Take a look at this thread & see what you think. What I used is in the last post.
