Good luck with your purchase and keep us posted on your adventures with it!
Well, the two comments were sorta together, sorta separate.

I'm an aspiring photog. I dont want to use a ringflash specifically for eyes alone. Although on some close up shots like in amateur allure it would be nice.

The eyes comment was a general overall.. even in person i attract to eyes before most anything else, unless of course the girl has an exceptionally nice rack!

I want a little of everything to play around.

Lighting IS key!!! I'm learning. Investing in a nice set of lights right now. well, making the order tomorrow from BH.

I also want the ringflash for macro stuff ... n udies wont be my only focus. I plan on making a wedding portfolio and even scenic shit.

Don't get me wrong. I plan on shooting some nice college girls too

Are you planning any more workshops, Dean?
