Where might one buy a ring light for macro photography? And is it possible to use one with a non SLR digital camera like the Olympus SP 560 UZ?

Yes you could even built 1. But Ive doubt It could be at par w/ a dslr.

pde pa follow up question ? ? hehe.. Since wala man ko ka join sa shoot ganina sa fam park, ask nlng ko dri.

I have a 50mm 1:1.18 lens and a set of extension tubes.

My first question is with the 50mm lens, how can i get shots like the one Twinjet posted or bisan d lang ingon ana ka intense as long as macro. I tried experimenting after reading some articles pero mo blur man jud xa bisan pag infinity ang focus(sakto ba?,correct me if I'm wrong).

Second is with the extension tubes, if I put one,2 or three along with my 50mm, mo no lens error lage xa(F --) ..why is that? I hope ok ra ni nga question dri since murag connected ra sa topic..I can make my own pero mas maayo cguro if ibutang nako dri, else pde ra nako deleton. Thanks

I am not a Macro master but here's my take based on experience.

1st ans - its a matter of glass quality and sharpness as well. You will see the difference compared a dedicated macro lens. Another thing I could see is it may be the technique, or are you using a tripod? is the subject moving because of the breeze? is the light sufficient enough. These are some factors that affect as well.

2nd ans - it could be that the contact points on the extension tube that is causing the problem. For me I would not recommend using two extension tubes kay it loses the sharpness of the glass and quality of the image.
