The ring flash sounds like a good investment.. I've seen one on amazon for about £40/£50. Not sure if that means its going to be a naff one.. lol.. Dont really like idea of the Canon 85 1.8 plus a set of Kenko extension tubes.. Althou you said thats what you would do.. also what did you mean...

I have just been reading a review on the canon 100mm f/2.8.. it sounds great.. But quite pricey.. considering I am buying this lens of the back a friend asking me to take photos of her jewelry.. But this is also good for portrait .. So I'm wondering if its worth investing.. And I think I...
