What do you need a ring flash for with that lens, if I may ask.
I’ve used that 50-200 time and time again (on L1 pana, E510, and E620), and
can’t see why a flash would have been needed , honest.
A ring flash is fine with a macro lens, of course :-) Not that one 50-200.
Samples welcome if case of contradiction ;-)
