Alien Bees and a couple of other companies have them from around $300 and up. Downside if you almost have to get a portable battery pack which adds some weight. Like this D3 doesn't already weigh enough! Most likely I'd use it on the Lika D200. > > But a few clicks online lead me to this awesome amazing camera+ringflash > kit! > > http://www.adorama.com/CZLDPRFK.html?searchinfo=lomo&item_no=17 > > Sweet!

It is expensive at $750. However, it is versatile and very well thought out. It is not a true ring light. It comes with two small flash units that attach to the end of the lens. I use it with the 105mm macro lens. I find it has met every need I have for a close up flash unit. My only dislike of the unit is the inability to use a polarizing filter. It can be used with the D3 and D200. If this unit has been discussed, I apologize. I get the digest list and miss things. JB
