Looks heavy

Don't know anything about it, but the new Metz looks interesting

Thanks for your reply

Way nicer than the ringlight I'm using now(promaster macrolume).
After reading test report on Xotopro QMM1 I will probably purchase
in next week.

Since no one

else has replied, I imagine there is no one who has used them. I have seen them discussed on one of the Pentax forums but no one discussing them had used them either, it was all speculation.

If it helps, I am having good luck with the Pentax AF540 flash on my K20d. It tilts down for macro and my 105mm macro does not throw a shadow even when combined with a Tamron 1.4x TC and 12mm of extension tube.

Thanks for comments about your combination,

after I posted comment I found test report on the Xotopro's QMM1 in
August edition of Shutterbug magazine(When a ringlight just want cut
it), looks heavy but very flexible for indoor shooting. The main thing
I want to get away from is flat lighting which really shows up in a
frontal image of jumping spider's or maybe an owlfly.

Thanks,

I will try to check that issue out. If you do end up getting the flash set, I would be interested in your thoughts and results after you have had a chance to play with them.
