Ring flash for Canon 450d / 100mm Macro USM

[mark.carline]

Can anyone recommend a budget ring flash that I could use with a Canon 450d / 100m Macro ?

I do have a 380ex and 430ex flashes that I have thought about using these cheapish add on packs but not sure how good they are:

Any thoughts ??

This is probably the cheapest ETTL ring flash currently available. It will do a job, but it may be worth buying some ND gel to cover half the ring to give some modelling.
