I use this ring flash with a 105mm macro lens on a D50 for dental photography. The pictures turn out great. My only complaint is that the manual is very vague, and there are not any user guides that I've found on the internet.

Notwithstanding the previous review I have to point out that the EM-140DG manual, page 18, (available for download from Sigma website) does not include the Nikon D50 in its compatibility list. I'm heartened to read that some have had luck, but as I have already returned another ring flash I would be careful about purchasing one where the manufacturer is not explicit. Places like 47th St Photo will claim everything works with everything to get you to just hand over the money.
Or... you could rely on Amazon's return policy and deal with a little hassle. BTW, do NOT waste your time with the Bower or other <$100 units on ebaY if you have a D50. That's a REAL waste of time and the joy of dealing with less-than-stellar return policies.
You got to hand it to Amazon, they rule in this respect!

The signa ring flash works great with my Nikon digital SLR camera -- TTL is well calibrated. The general look and feel is a little more crude than the comparable Canon 14EX and it lacks the ring holder mounted to the capaciter/controller of the Nikon SB29 but this unit works flawless -- BTW, you can mount one of the lens rings that come with system to the Sigma body controller and duplicate the flash holder found on the Nikon SB29 -- this is a nice benefit for portrait shooting.

I specialize in plant photography that I use in lectures and books, and bought this flash to compliment my Nikon D200 with 105 mm macro lens. The first day I used it I was hooked. It allows me to take the most incredible extreme macro photographs of flowers, seeds, insects, mosses,and anything else with a lot of complex detail. I do wish that the hot shoe was metal and not plastic, but so far I have not had a problem with it breaking (I remove it gingerly). The response from audiences has been overwhelmingly positive and I only wish I had bought this ring flash earlier.
