I have some credits to burn at Lomography.com. I noticed this:
//microsites.lomography.com/ringflash/
I'd like to attach it to my Holga. I've never used a ringflash; I understand it's less direct and harsh than the regular on-camera flash (i.e. softer shadows) and, also, that I can get closer to my subject with it. This one is sixty dollars. Does it seem like a worthwhile investment? A decent enough first ringflash? I'd like to use it with both human subjects and perhaps outdoor macros in poor light. Thoughts? |

It's hard to be sure, but it looks to me like the four flash heads are the only light sources, unless you use a "diffusion ring" in conjunction with the flash. If that's so, it won't give the same look as a true ring flash. If some of the flash energy is directed back at the ring, it might perform somewhat better. Hard to predict, really.

| Meant to respond. Thanks, kirbic. Just looking for something to play around with. I know it's not pro quality (is anything from Lomography?). I might take a chance... |
