Recommend Macro Ring Flash for K7

[doppelganger]

Thanks for the replys

some impressive images ; particularly the freezing of wing movement on #4. Just how fast a shutter speed can be used with this flash ??

The hover fly was 1/125, f9 ISO 100, I can't get the camera(K20) to shoot any faster than 1/180, I don't know if you can ?

One other matter. Pentax rinflash may not fit on larger sigma macro lenses. To use the sigma flash on my two 49mm filter thread pentax llenses, I needed a 52 to 49 adjustment ring

The flash comes with 4 mounting rings 49,52,58 and 67mm. The frustration when it arrived, the Tamron 90 is 55mm..........lightning speed to the camera shop and back in record time,$18.00 lighter of pocket ,55-58mm step up ring in hand and right to go.

I have the cheaper sigma "ring flash" however it is realy a twin flash. It leaves a bit of a shaddow with insects etc. So it depends what you want. My preference is to use it maually and use one flash at a quarter and the other an eigth and I adjust apperature.

I've only used the Pentax flash on manual so far, I find it easier to control. One thing I don't like about this flash is the refection, although on occasion it looks appealing, it's a bugger to photoshop( I'm learning) out if required.
