Small body, flash too big?

Macro/close-up ?

I haven't seen on this forum where you've mentioned a primary interest in close-up/macro where you will use diffusers or snoots attached to the flash and might take 300 back to back shots as fast as you can press the shutter button.

Excellent battery life and a fast re-cycle time can be critical. The last thing you want is to have to wait 20 minutes while the flash cools down, replace batteries in the field or outrun the recycle time.

I don't think anything is as abusive on a flash as macro in the field. It can be brutal. Size "can" work to your advantage.

On the Macro Forum, we were trying to take that into account.

If that is still your interest, make sure everyone understands that.
