I think someone else will give you a more detailed answer. This is the forum to ask about Macro ! It's full of experienced macroists ( is that a word ? ) .
Have a look at Grahams post number 27 on the 'Ring flash' thread. It's stunning!
If I could convince myself that I could come anywhere close to that, then I already know what this years Christmas present will be !!
