[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 808630, member: 50197"] Well, I've got a lot to learn using flash with macro. I played around with it at the swamp today. OK, I spent a good bit of my time talking shop with another photographer, and letting him get some hands on with my gimbal head, and Z5. I did use the flash some with the 105 macro, as well as the 200-500 tele. I discovered I often need to take the camera off auto ISO. If I do that and choose a small F stop, I can get some nice dark backgrounds, although sometimes I need to compensate for overexposure with a small subject against a larger, far away background. I think the flash may work well for bees. This one isn't terribly sharp, due to motion, but I kind of like the effect.
