I am looking for a ring flash to work with several Canon cameras. Fortunately the lenses are mainly only one filter size 77mm. I am debating either the Nissin or Sigma any view on either. Cost is about the same, for both
 
I've got the Sigma Ring Flash, it looks like a ring flash but actually isn't, it consists of two small flashes that can be fired individually or together with a ratio of power between the two and has a guide number of 14. That's fine for macro work but it is of little use for anything else such as portrait work, which needs much more power and a proper ring configuration for decent images. I bought mine secondhand but the genuine Canon version isn't much more from the likes of MPB and might give better results overall, such items tend not to get much use. I have no knowledge of the Nissin version.
 
For the little use it'll get, I'd go Yongnuo rather than Nissin or Sigma.
 
Hadn't considered the Yongnuo option. Not sure if it'll fit a 77mm filter mount, but as it will probably be used mainly on the 100mm macro which is 58mm it's not really a problem. Plus £80.00 from Amazon not a bad buy. Thanks for the responses
