:bsmilie: DM adding to the poison i see... say, doesn't wuff ruff have the Voightlander 125? or is that a different one?

Yup, that's the one.

Don't buy ring flash or macro flash, using you normal external flash will be fine. Remember you saw all my shots are using my normal flash.

eh!
oh yah hor

 

[Leong23]

macro flash should be something like the Nikon R1C1 :dunno:

yes. most macro flash are make up of twin flash, instead of a ring.

 

[Leong23]

you mean this fella?

This is the one you used the last time.

 

[Dream Merchant]

Yeah, I didn't think Leong would recommend a ring nor a macro flash that was why I was wondering, unless he had specific reasons lah.

 

[Royaux]

isn't ring flash a bit 'extreme' to start with? :dunno:

yep thats the one i was referring to. recall having used leong's one.

 

[Leong23]

actually it is cheaper to start off with......

image the cost of 2x external flash + 2x flash bracket + the support system.

 

[Dream Merchant]

Not really.

I think a ring flash would be a lot more restrictive and less versatile in field/nature macro applications. Leong's set-up offers far more versatility. But check with the XMM just to be sure. He has been through it all and can save you a lot of heart, head and wallet ache.

1 x R1C1 = S$900+

2 x sb-900 = 1k+

 

[vonlichenstein]

1 x R1C1 = S$900+

2 x sb-900 = 1k+

:bsmilie: done your research already?

 

[Dream Merchant]

2 x 580EXIIs = $1.2+ K
2 x old Sunpaks or Vivitars = $150 - $400

Portraits is still better for me :bsmilie:

 

[vonlichenstein]

[Dream Merchant]

Beri goot wad!

Lens so sarp till can see every pore on the subjeck's face! :bsmilie:

 

[luna_sea83]

60mm good and sharp even at 2.8 :bsmilie:

 

[Leong23]

60mm good and sharp even at 2.8 :bsmilie:

or 85mmf1.4, good and sharp at 1.4. :devil:

 

[CYRN]

Leong being the 3rd XMM in CS..is the only one I know that prefers DSLR Macro... the other 2 XMM I know prefers P&S for more DOF.

 

[Royaux]

would anyone recommend an fuji s5pro?
