Subject: [Leica] Ring flash for SL?
From: Jem Kime <jem.kime@cwcom.net>

Folks,
I've never been a big fan of flash, but recognise it does have a good part 
to play when needing lots of light for close up exposures with stopped down 
lenses. While I have a couple of small (really) flash units, they are far 
from ideal for close up work down to 1:1.
I have an SL with obviously basic flash connection, I also have a 60mm 
macro Elmarit lens, the early version with 60mm filter thread.
I'm looking for something which might fit that combo and offer some sort of 
automation (as basic flash systems go) so that calculations can be largely 
ignored.
Any suggestions?

Jem
