Default Re: Ring Light or Ring Flash?

Not sure what camera equipment you have but things like the canon MR-14EX flash have modelling lights built in although I have heard the comment they don't stay on long enough. If you are after a macro flash then you need something where the power to the twin heads can be varied otherwise you end up with very flat lighting (the above one does have variable power). Not sure if any of the normal flash solutions are useful in other forms of photography though. You may be better off just thinking of some form of LED torch to provide some focusing light with the flash supplied by something else.
