Hi everyone,

Just starting to dabble in Macro (mostly still life) shots. I've noticed that I really would benefit from a macro flash setup. I'm having difficulty finding much info to help me decide what would work best for my setup.

I'm on a Sony A7iii with a Sony 2.8fe 90mm Macro lens.

I'm waiting on a Bolt ring light in the mail, but I think I'd prefer something that has more flexibility (detachable, adjustable).

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I don't mind spending a few hundred dollars for something reliable, and with greater capabilities than the ring light.

Thanks

I' ve got my macro lens for a couple of months now. Might also get a flash within a few months. The Nissin i60 looks interesting to me, or  (if you want small/small) Nissin i40. I' ll probably go for the i60.
