Canon Macro Twin Lite vs. Ring Lite - which is better?

[Brendan7]

It's built for ultimate macro work, which involves very narrow apertures (f11,f14 etc) and non-handholdable (even with IS) shutter speeds.

I don't understand this. How is shutter speed an issue if the flash is providing the light?

brain fart. my bad!

Well, the macro twin lite is used mostly forextreme closeups.

If you believe that, then the twin isn't appropraite with the 100mm macro

Unless you are shooting an extreme closeup the difference between a 580 II and a twin lite is small IMO. Food for thought [I]
