| Re: Flash for macro
I had considered a ring flash for my Sigma 180 but have been reluctant to purchase anything because I fear that they wouldn't stand up to my rough use in the woods and brambles.
A standard flash unit is a more durable option but can still get in the way and hang up in the undergrowth. And it is all extra weight and bulk to carry around.
Currently, I mostly use the camera in built flash which usually works fine for macro tripod work; providing I remove the lens hood and keep my fingers underneath the lens while manually focusing.
But an external flash unit will help to reduce the problem of 'red eye' or the insect equivalent. |
