Plus you get to stop down a few. Another reason why a flash on a coiled cord is a VERY good thing to have in our macro photography. ..especially including BUGS as they really need to be frozen with shutter speed or flash duration and be stopped down enough to get it. -- Mark R. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/winterdays/ > From: Jim Nichols <jhnichols at lighttube.net> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Sat, 25 Feb 2012 23:11:28 -0600 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] IMG: Crocus Without Flash > > Thanks for commenting, Mark.
