Re: 60mm Macro and Ringflash make a great impromptu portriat set up

Weird my Metz and elinchrom were within 10 or 20% in terms of cost (both about £300), the weight and ergonomics definitely favour the metz though gas long as your lens is the right size filter thread).

I use a 46mm-52mm step up ring and then use the supplied Metz 52mm attachment to the flash.

I was unfamiliar with elinchrom and looked it up on B&H and found this:

Elinchrom RQ Ringflash

at $1,199.99. But perhaps you meant this:

Elinchrom Ranger Quadra Ringflash ECO

at $524.95, and which is only 4x as heavy. The Metz price is $466.69 which is about what I paid for it nine months ago..
