Hi all,
I need your help on something I couldn't figure out through internet. I own a Nikon D5300, the Nikon 105 mm f/2.8 macro lens and now would like to add a ring flash to my kit. Frankly, I can not afford the Nikon or Sigma ring flashes as I am just a hobbyist. Please help me choosing a cheaper alternative (~150-200 US$).
I can find some LED flashes in internet but am not sure about their quality.
Any advice will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Are you sure you want a ring flash,i have the sigma but dont use it much because of the way a ring flash illuminates the subject,your built in flash can be used for a lot of macro work.

Thanks a lot, Mike for the reply. I saw somewhere that light from the built-in flash can be diffused by a sheet for macro-illumination but I am not confident about that. Would you suggest me how to use the built-in flash for macro work? Thanks.
