Actually, this ring light is a nice addition to camera equipment. My impression is the use of a ring flash is rather limited benefit. Unfortunately, there is in my view a design flaw. The colored and clear cover rings, direct the light on the inside of the lens. Thus, lights and flash it directly into the lens. The corners are, with smaller focal lengths, partly strongly vignetting (below approximately 40 mm focal length). This is a shame for use in close-ups at wide angle.
