Some ideas :

I'm not familiar with the Canon system, but can you still autofocus with bellows ?

I would be suggesting a dedicated macro lens and or a dedicated macro twin flash, preferably with variable control between the two flashes.
This is assuming you are talking about true macro - around 1:1 and that macro is a serious interest justifying the specialised expense.

That usually means that the lens and flash have to be compatible - eg diameter of front thread and issues of vignetting etc.
You could get a ring flash but the twin flash seems to give better shots in my opinion.
The low cost option is one of the LED ring lights, but these are not in the same league as a flash.


Cheers Rally
