Unfortunately, when I started digging into what it would cost to upgrade my tripod/monopod heads, and do it right, it rapidly exceeded my birthday present budget. I was trying to photograph a spider eating a fly this afternoon, and tried several variations of the flash, including my el cheapo passive ringflash adapter, which threw away too much light for what I was trying to do.
I don't have $500 to buy the Pentax ring flash, at least not new. I don't care if it's pure manual operation. I'd like it to be powerful enough that I could also use it for fill when doing portrait photography. I think I'd prefer flash to LED, because if I'm hand holding a macro shot, anything that'll help freeze motion is helpful. Especially if I'm photographing a flower and it's at all breezy outside. Anybody have any recommendations of flashes to look at? Or, for that matter, ones to avoid? Or know of any awesome deals on a used one. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
