Ring flash advcie needed
-
Hi all
I am thinking of getting a cheapie rign flash for my D80 to use with my sigma 105 macro.
The metz flashguns are out of my league so looking to get something like this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/LED-lenses-adapters-popular-compatible/dp/B0031AQ302/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1281036897&sr=1-4″ onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false;anyone used, have or seen these in action?
Cheers. Deethats actually not a flash. its continuous light. and i wouldnt be suprised if its not very bright at all
Hi Deebo – there are 9 customer reviews on that Amazon link. They should give you an idea of its cababilities.

Hi Deebo.
I’ve recently seen a guy using a ringflash adapter in which it connects to the lens & your existing flash unit. This was also a cheap alternative & offered a lot more control using the power reduction function of your original flash unit.( He was using it with a Canon flash unit.) Maybe you can find it by Googling ringflash adapter.

Chrischeers all and thanks for your input. For 40quid it does seem to do the job fine
Might just be a stop gap for the rest of the summer months whilst I get to grips with my macro lens. I may then decide to buy a better flash.
Cheers all and good weekend,
DeeHey I just recently got this ring light, haven’t had a chance to try it out yet as I only got my macro lense today but it seems fine for 40 quid! As you say Deebo a stop gap, until I win the lotto that is!! So I guess now I’ve just got to find time to give it a go :)

Just make sure the diameter match you lenses.
there are 5 or 6 changeable rings from 48 to 67 mm so the lamp will fit to most popular lenses :-)
