Hey guys,





I've found a very good deal on the Canon MR-14EX(70% of new price) and lately I've been debating what to do with my macrophotography: upgrade my lens to an L-series macro lens (100mm) or upgrade my flash, because the 430EX flash isn't working so well on FF as it worked on my 50D with macro. Believe me I've tried everything possible.


So I've got some questions (since there's very little to find about the MR-14EX):


A - Is it wise to buy a ringflash? [:P] (also I don't have money for the expensive twinflash, nor am I a macro-tripod-shooter, just as info)


B - How do I test this second hand flash and what are the things to look out for? In other words...what shows the degradation of a flash?





Thanks in advance!


Jan


PS: Oh I should mention that I will probably buy it tomorrow or this weekend so I'm in a bit of a hurry [:P]
