Yes, that's the one. And yes to the advantages of the T-10. I don't use
the 5000 very often as it (and other ring flashes) is more suitable for very
close macro photography. For fill flash, such as what's needed for flowers,
the built-in flash is usually adequate, and a small flash on a cord takes care
of the unusual situations, such as uneven lighting.
The 5000 pretty much dictates that you support the camera by way of the
lens rather than the camera body, so a lens with a tripod ring is pretty handy.
