Nikon users - macro ring flash

[plastii]

Guys.

What kind of macro flash do you use? Do you think I should go with more expensive Nikon R1 Wireless Close-Up Speedlight Flash (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/410484-USA/Nikon_4804_R1_Wireless_Close_Up_Speedlight.html) or a chep off brand flash ring? Will the Nikon make such a big difference in quality?

What do you think.
Thanks
Marek.

If your cheap off brand ring flash is not compatible with i-TTL then yes it will make a big difference.

Yep, Garbz is right. Make sure the flash is compatible with i-TTL. If you're not sure, try it out in a camera shop if you can.

In other news, WHAT THE HECK??? YOU GET THAT FOR £190?????? Here, we have to pay TWICE THAT!!!!!!

There's a reason I order camera gear from B&H even though I live 10000km away from the closest one
