Thanks, Wayne,

Although Philippe says he is sorry for bothering me, I'm not sorry. In fact, I've been known to see a question implicit in a posted photo, raise, then answer it.

I only choose those that I find interesting, and I find them interesting in 
several way.

First, there is just more information, about gear, settings, software and technique than I seem to be able to hold in my head.

Second, there's even more stuff to learn than I have already learned and partially or completely forgotten. It's not uncommon for me to find an example I did in the past that I've forgotten, at least until I see it again. Here, I knew that the Pentax 67 T132 achromatic C-U lens worked well for me, but now I know its actual max magnification and subject coverage area.

Then there's the anticipation of giving others the gift of gear knowledge, tools and techniques that allow them to improve their own photography. And the joy when I see or hear the results.

Thanks dear Moose

the original question was "why use a RING flash on a 100-400 eq."

And after reading everyone’s answers I still can’t see its justification.

Flash question almost never interest me. I do have the original Oly ring flashes. I even replaced a failed flash tube in one - then digital happened - then LEDs happened. I do use an LED ring light for macro on the stand.

Your secondary question, "FL eq 100-400 - do you really shoot macro with that 
FL?" did interest me.

Happy Dabbler Moose
