What do you want to take pictures of because ring flashes are not always the best option?[/QUOTE

A friend of mine purchased one, an led ring flash... and it was useless, a torch was better.... Save your money
The reason I ask is some subjects don't like a ring flash shoved in their face, i had the Sigma unit mentioned above, didnt use it all that much although it was a great unit.
A few ideas here of alternatives

I am not serious about macro so i use a small on-camera flash or the built in one if the camera is so equipped.
Some none ring flash results
