Okay you macro gurus, I’ve just seen a ring flash that fits at the front of the lens (don’t worry, I’m not buying one – too exe!) and was wondering is this the best way to use flash for macro work?

My initial thought is that yes, it gets the flash tube(s) close too the subject, the camera body/lens doesn’t block the light and the output is in-line and not at a steep angle, but, would the subject not appear too flat, just like looking at a full Moon with the front-on illumination?

Cheers

Dennis
