Question for someone who has a MR-14EX:
Do you really get a 'ring' of light or are the flash tubes actually small bright spots at the side with a little fill from a diffuser around but really more like two spots than a ring? This is the case with the Sigma EM140DG ringflash. To make it worse, the modeling lights on the Sigma are placed at top and bottom so they do not show exactly the effect you will get from the flash tubes. The difference is small but you can see a difference in lighting if you rotate the ring on the lens placing the lights at top and bottom rather than left and right. A real ring should not do this.
