Hi Nogbad,

In order to try and establish some sort of info on flash I wanted to establish how close the lens will be to the subject. If you draw a circle or use a coin that covers an area roughly equal to your subject, I can simulate that here to see the lighting problem. I have a 55mm lens which will be near enough. The difference with Harrys set up is he is using I think 105mm which increases the lens to subject distance.

I did some pics in the Macro thread where I show a tape measure to give an idea of what I mean. Pic here http://www.worldphotographyforum.com...0&d=1135954278

I'm on a roll here so this is a link to the thread. http://www.worldphotographyforum.com...read.php?t=314
