Hi-browed Crab Spider
>>4363616it's a lot more ergonomic, i was using the guitar pic style diffuser before and it would shift around with the focus/aperture rings
i wasn't able to get shots from all angles with my previous flash setup, with this i can
the modeling lights right at the tip of the lens help massively, its never too dark
its got an independent left and right flash that you can individually adjust the power on for more lighting control
the main downside for me is you have to manually set flash power, there's no auto mode. this might just be my model tho
the ring reflection is bad for human/animal eyes and surfaces like water, but i found it to be hardly noticeable on insects
truthfully though it's just as annoying to swap to from my main birding lens, unless i see a very interesting bug i cbf
>Can you still shoot at the same high shutter speeds as with a flash?yes its just like a normal flash
>>4363643>they require adapter rings be mountedi just keep mine permanently attached and bought a lens cap that fits the ring
takes up more space in backpack though
