He has sold quite a few from looking at his feedback and they all seem happy with it.

Having never used anything other than the build in flash, what would you use this type of flash for?

Main use would be macro, I doubt it will be powerful enough for anything else. It gives more even and less "in your face" lighting on the subject.

This was done with a ringflash.

Nice effect, and a very detailed shot Mike, I might consider getting one to play with after I've had my K10 serviced.

Its perhaps not totally accurate to describe it as a 'flash' light. I think it is designed to provide continuous lighting. If that is the case, metering for correct exposure should be very simple and accurate.

For £33.00, it's be silly to not buy one if you have nothing like it already.

It's likely it'll only be of any use for macro lighting.

How about the cheap home made option?
