Hey there again,
You have priced this lens very fairly no question, I do not mean to insult you with a lower offer, but I had $ saved up for a new 5D mklll body and lens, which came to roughly $5,000.00, which my lovely wife has allowed (but no more). I am offering you that amount for the 600mm and will wait to upgrade the body (MUCH)later if your willing to lower your already low price. I am sending back the 400mmL 5.6 I got last week because it just doesn't reach out quite enough for my needs. I will understand completely if this offer is unsatisfactory and thank you for your time.

the flash units move around the ring so can be positioned anywhere, I have the extensions so can reach out to 12" past the ring

I use diffusers on it to cut down on the reflection from eyes and carapaces. it makes handholding MUCH easier, I shoot in manual mode 200-250sec at f13. My keepers went up considerably after I procured it. I'm shooting with a Canon 5D mkll with the 100mm 2.8L IS USM. I would do it again without a doubt.

Fantastic shots. And great information too.
I have the same lens.:thumbup:
I also planed on diffusing the light and moving the heads further away.:thumbup:
I understand the heads are detachable and I have planned on that being a fact.:thumbup:

I have seen other set-ups using RRS and willl look into that once I figure out how well this flash works (your shots above are excellent and very encouraging, thanks!). :thumbup:

What RSS ring bracket did you get and what else did you use to make it work for you?

Maybe the money I've saved on this flash ($400, NIB used once) compared to what it costs new from B&H can go towards the RSS bracket? How's that for photography equipment economics?? :roll:
