Marumi Macro Ring Flash

A nice unit that may be of interest to Macro enthusiasts. They sell between £100 and £110 and are dedicated to either Canon or Nikon respectively. Various sized filter thread adapters are supplied other are readily available.

Good it you don't have a macro lens I suppose

I dont have a Macro lens Beryl. I use a set of three Jessops extention tubes and the kit 18mm to 55mm lens. I couldnt justify spending £300+ on a Macro lens.( come to think of it, judging by some of my Macro shots, I couldnt justify spending 20 pence on a Macro lens)

I have a sigma 70-300mm DG macro £129.00. You can see a close up of a dragonfly will show how good it is. Taken from a foot away.
Mind you it's a matter of preference and the above looks pretty snazzy

It isn't a lens Beryl, it's a ring flash, it can be used on any lens, just that it is designed to give shadow free illumination of close up subjects.

Shame they don't do an Olympus version.

Oh I see Sounds quite good then
