[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 28793, member: 1061"] Yeah, my biggest concern with the $40 one is that in the specs it lists a power of 15GN, which isn't very much at all. It says, "also great for portrait photography" too, LOL. This doodad isn't going to light anything that is more than 2 feet away from the lens. I dunno, Jen. I think you'll be disappointed with that one, but considering the high-priced alternatives, it might be better than nothing. It's only $40, so you're not betting the farm if it doesn't work for you. I just wouldn't get your hopes up about it taking your macro photography to the next level. You might want to also take a look at [URL="http://www.amazon.com/Phoenix-Smart-Flash-Digital-Cameras/dp/B0013L5INE/ref=pd_cp_p_3"]this one[/URL], which is $100. It's an actual TTL ring flash with 46GN power, 3x more light than the one above. [/QUOTE]
