Hi,

Can anyone tell me if there is such a thing as a bracket to setup 2x580ex flashguns (or similar) to allow them to behave like the mega-expensive macro flash from Canon. I am getting the Tamron 90mm Macro lense and was wondering how to best utilise my flashguns?

you'll be fine using one of your flash guns - two would be tough to handle without a tripod. I use this 'bracket' after reading a thread posted recently:
