[QUOTE="WhiteLight, post: 200474, member: 9556"] The Nikon R1 and R1C1 is the best macro flash setup out there. I had been thinking about getting them too but held back due to it's cost mainly & secondly i am not sure if i would use it a lot beyond the 'lust period' :) How serious are you about macro photography? If you are really looking to take it forward, there is no other like this kit. But be aware you can really use flash only for macro. It really wouldn't help even for a close up portrait. But the light from these for macro, are not going to be like other ring lights - flat. These are mainly engineered for macro & close ups and will perform awesomely. A friend of mine had it & it is extremely convenient, not to mention how well it performs.. Just to add, the R1 will work just fine with all your cameras. So if you don't have any intentions of having more flashes in the future, no point in getting the R1C1 with the commander unit. Also, on the flip side, you can achieve very similar effects with a regular flash on a flash arm/bracket so it's positioned a little off the regular position. Along with a good diffuser like Lumiquest, you can get great results.. Plus it would double as a secondary flash too. I use the SB700 in a similar fashion [/QUOTE]
