I have a Sony Alpha and want to buy a Ring Flash for it. Does anyone know what is the best one?

Question

I have tried the HVL-RLAM, but this is a ring light rather than a flash (it is constantly on), and it does not cast enough light - I am looking to take intra oral pictures, so need a good amount of light.

I think there is a Minolta Macro Ring Flash 1200 which is compatible, but it is discontinued, and difficult to get hold of.

Answer 1

The Minolta Maxxum Macro Ringflash 1200AF should be what you need. However, you may need an adapter, the FS-1100.

There is a Yahoo Tech Group dedicated to Konica-Minolta/Sony DSLR cameras. konica_minolta_dslr

You should find information about the compatibilty of K-M DSLR accessories with your Sony DSLR.
