Just got an EM-140 macro flash from B&H today. I found this little fellow in my basement and shot him on manual at 1/80 f/11 with the Sigma 105 mm macro lens at 1x, cropped to 716x716. I hope to give this unit a thourough testing this weekend, but I'm pretty pleased with it so far. The modeling lights are really handy.

Good shot- looks slightly soft but theat maybe because of the crop.
Can you vary the power to the lights separaately ?- This is often useful to stop the shots looking flat.

yes you can:

about £80 cheaper than the Canon, looks to be very similar. They are great for objects and can be vg with insects but sometimes the reflection is distracting - as when used on Ladybirds.
