[QUOTE="TwistedThrottle, post: 808557, member: 46724"] I use flashpoint/godox and have been really impressed with the entire system. I have 2x ad200 pro along with the round head accessories, (essential piece of kit IMHO) the V1 roundhead speedlight and the mf-12 macro system with the R2 pro transmitter. For macro, I mostly use the mf-12 with the transmitter. It kicks out more than enough light for macro and does a good job of getting rid of shadows caused by single light setups, (using both included lights on either side of the front of the lens). You're right up close to the subject shooting macro so these lights work great even at small apertures. The mf-12 must be used with a transmitter but its not limited to just acting like a ring light. The lights can be set up as off camera lights using the included stands. Of course, they don't push a ton of light for that kind of situation but the option is there, (think accent lights for tabletop photography). The one drawback is the setup time. You have to attach a ring onto the front of your lens which accepts the dock which accepts the mf-12 lights, (up to 6 lights on the front of the lens). Each step takes time to assemble. Most of the time, I leave everything assembled on the front of my 105 macro so it's ready to go. I find it easier to take it off the few times I don't need it rather than install every time I do need it. The V1 is very handy if I just need a quick shot and don't want to mess with any setup time. It can also act as a transmitter for any of the other lights I have. I use the ad-200 when more light is required. [/QUOTE]
