I have been thinking about this flash for some time for macro. I almost bought it last week.


Has any one used this and what do they think? I have heard reviews that it is harsh. That you have to soften the flash.


Most of my macro work would be outside, probably insects would seem the best use for this flash. Butterflies are hard to catch and when in the shade it poses a problem without a flash. A lot of the reviews I have seen were from dental offices and other similar applications taking inside and static pictures. For brightly lit areas I am sure this flash would do fine, but I want a softer light for what I do.
