<blockquote data-quote="Deleted" data-source="post: 343723" data-attributes="member: 29753">[USER=12496]@WayneF[/USER]Thanks for the info &amp; links. The main purpose of the flash for me would be macro &amp; close-up work. Reading the manual from your excellent link, it seems that the kit is specifically designed for Macro lenses, including my suggested 105mm. The is a specific adaptor for this lens. The R1 kit seems to include a sensor that fits in front of the inbuilt camera flash &amp; this receives signals to relay to the R200 flashes. You can also buy additional R200 units to create a mini studio. The R200s don't have to be attached to the lens ring &amp; can be hand-held or they can sit on little stands. It does seem to be the perfect mini studio. They seem entirely useless for anything else other than macro.The other option would be an SB-700 with diffuser. It's a compromise for macro. However I'm not sure that I'd use an SB much in landscape or walkabout. I'd only use it as fill-in for character portraits for which maybe the inbuilt flash would do?</blockquote>
