Outside this thing is awesome if you want to soften hard shadows from the sun. I think it makes a way better fill than a regular on camera flash.


Ringlight is also great for reducing the appearance of flaws since light is coming at it from all angles.


Not trying to sway you (since I'm also a huge fan of the 24-70), but don't think one dimensionally about ring light. Look at Dan Winters' stuff. 90% of his stuff uses ring fill and it is absolutely amazing stuff.
