Good points Moose, and well presented ;-). Another possibility is the
"art panel" which seems to be catching on - a sort of flat panel flash
that I saw (among other places) on the Speed Graphic site
(www.speedgraphic.co.uk - you have to download a .pdf file to see it in
the macro area). But that would lack a modelling light as well ...
I have always fancied a ring flash, but I could never find one when I
had enough money to afford one. Even the Sunpak one is pretty pricey.

The 2 solutions are quite different. Neither is inherently better,
just depends on what you are trying to do. C.H.'s will give the kind
of illumination shown in his sample pics and looks like it's easy to
get great results. A twin flash setup allows some control over the
placement and type of shadows and relative brightness of parts of the
subject, allowing more flexibility in setting up 3D modeling,
eliminating reflections, etc. Any twin flash setup using T20 and/or
T32 flashes won't have the modeling lights that are built into the T28
twin, so it will be harder to get the lighting right. Trial and error
rather than TTL lighting setup.
Ring flashes offer yet a another kind of lighting, and even the T8 and
T10 are different in that respect.

I am going to look at that, although CH Ling's simple and elegant
solution seems very attractive. And you can use white acrylic for
all sorts of photographic applications.
