[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 811784, member: 50197"] Well, I got the Pup her own flash for macro work. Got tired of having to only use available light when we went out together. I got her the Godox 350 for her D5600. I went with that over the 685 I got because of the smaller size/weight, and the simpler menu. It came yesterday and I looked it over and did a few test shots. Seems to be a really nice little flash. Controls are simple and intuitive. I think she might get frustrated with the 685 controls. Came with a nice sturdy canvas pouch and a cold shoe for off camera mounting to a tripod. It also came with a nice little pop on diffuser head. It doesn't diffuse as well as the small softboxes or pop up slide over the lens diffusers, but it may do a nice job of adding some additional diffusion when used in conjunction other diffusers. Despite the fact that it has a good bit lower guide number, I thought it pulled it's weight rather well compared to it's bigger brother. At close to 1:1 magnification I was able to use F16 at ISO 100 at 1/4 power. That is pretty much my starting point with the 685. I hope she will be happy with it. It seems to be the most recommended as the go to flash for macro on the insect photography videos I've watched. I really like my 685, but initial impressions suggest I would be very happy with this as my macro flash. [/QUOTE]
