Frequently asked questions

Why twin flash for macro?

At macro distances, a single flash creates harsh directional shadows. Twin-flash lets you balance light from both sides, creating softer, more even illumination - essential for insect photography where small shadows can hide important detail.

  • A proper little treasure trove

    3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
