Title: Flash WannaBe
Review: Sony HVLRLAM Ring Light for Sony Alpha Digital SLR is most importantly NOT a Flash unit. It will provide light for close-ups but is not really suitable for anything approaching professional use in macro photography. Its main limitation is the limited brightness of the LED lights. The unit will not permit the use of very small F-Stops that are often desired in macro photography. For hand held purposes about f5.6 is about all that you will be able to use. Too bad Sony didn't continue the previous Real Flash units Konica-Minolta made for macro photography. I'd pass on this unit for anything other than casual home use - maybe for stamp collectors or that sort.
Is the review positive or negative?
