Nothing fancy but a basic ring flash which works fine with a reasonable price. I use it for dentistry, intraoral photos are well lit just have to remember to turn it off when done. Quickly loads a charge for use with fresh batteries.

I DID NOT ORDER THE BACKPACK OR THE 2 MACRO FLASHES. I ALREADY HAVE THEM. ALL I WANT ARE THE FILTERS.

Not too sturdy, but fine for intra-oral photography in the office.

I use the ring flash for macro work in perennially dark Southeast Alaska...down close to the ground...usually prone with the camera on a sand bag or mounted on a mini-tripod. The unit has functioned faithfully! There has been only one technical problem - something that might trouble other users. I backpack the unit over long distances. Considerable force is placed on the equipment. One way occasion the batteries flattened the metal contacts at the bottom of the battery wells and the flash ceased functioning. The fix, of course, was simple and did not result in down-time.

I use this for photographing insects, flowers, and other invertebrates in nature.

I bought a Canon 60mm macro lens and wanted a lower-power ring light to use with it. While the Canon ringlight is wonderful, it is also an expensive item. This one works just fine for me with my Canon XT, XTi and Xsi bodies and is a third the price. The unit recycles fast and gives uniform illumination...it's easy to use...just screw it onto the lens and start shooting.

Very cheap construct, back panel already came off when I open the box, very cheap and poor construct in general, but it work so far. Severe Vignette when using 50mm lens which I have no problem before with the Sigma Macro flash, but the Sigma Macro flash die on me after 1 yr and 10 months of not very heavy use. So more expensive doesn't make it better. Praying for this thing to work for me for longer time.

Excellent value - a fraction of the price of its competitors that I know of. I use it for dental photos and it does the job well
