Thank you, I was wondering about your light setup. I've seen that flash and probably need to get it if I buy a new DSLR in the spring. Haven't used a DSLR for about 10 years, only Canon Powershot superzooms. About that flash, how well does it work with the object sitting on a flat wall? Is the flash lights in the way or do you get close enough?
The flash torches are orientable, closing their angle as the object to be photographed is closer, when the magnification approaches 5: 1
I was thinking the twin lights might reach further than the lens not to cast any shadow and hence be in the way when photographing against a wall.
A couple of other questions, if I may ...
I guess a
full frame camera is the way to go to get maximum resolution with macro!?
Abouth the
MT-24EX. When taking photos of bugs one often takes several from each angle, i.e. taking many photos in a row. With my old flash I was often worried I would overheat the flash and burn it out. Maybe this newer flash handles this atomatically and only give you green light when it is not at risk of being overheated!? By the way, I love that with a flash the lighting conditions really doesn't matter and you can go out into the night with a headlamp to take photos.
