Macrophotography needs a lot of light. If you are using extension tubes, you will lose light and Depth of Field. The extension tubes work well in good light conditions, but when it is a bit dull, you need some help.
One of the best options is a ring flash. There are many to choose from, with lots of bells and whistles. If you want Through-The-Lens metering (TTL), you will pay upwards of 80 Euros.
We plumped for the non-TTL ring flash from Neewer. It doesn’t really matter that there is no TTL metering. You simply take a picture, if it’s not bright enough, turn the light up and try again!
