Can't help you at the moment as I'm thinking about the same thing, so interested in what folk have to say.

I am in two minds though about a ring flash or a ring LED light, though tending towards the LED with adjustable intensity and continuous illumination so more suitable for multi-shot burst when hand held.

Have a look at Yongnou YN14EX, excellent value and looks just like the Canon version.

I have the Canon version but as Bill says the Yongnou version is value for money.

I have the Yongnou YN14EX.....and I don't use it, I prefer off camera flash as I've had more success that way.....see accessories for sale/classified

I have the Yongnou YN14EX.....and I don't use it, I prefer off camera flash as I've had more success that way.....its in mint condition and I will sell for a reasonable offer?
(I've never developed an interest in macro and sold my 100mm L lens earlier in the year)

Please make any sales through the EOS magazine Forum Classified section.

I have the Neewer Macro TTL Ring Flash. Again all I can say is it does everything that you would expect of a ring flash. Cost a penny short of £76.

I've seen Martin Parr use one for portraits....gives a distinctive reflection in the eyes.

I have been using the Nissin MF18 Ring Flash for a few years now, and it has been both effective, and reliable.
