Q: 4. Would this kit be suitable for macro flash photography?

A: The LumiQuest Mini Lighting Kit (B&H # LUMK) is designed to diffuse the spread of light from both a hot shoe flash and a DSLR's cameras built-in flash. The issue with macro photography is the minimum focus distance required for macro photography usage needs, as well as the physical length of the lens, as a long lens can block light emitted from a built-in flash or a camera-mounted flash. As we cannot estimate the spread of light from the LumiQuest Mini Lighting Kit, while the kit may be helpful, we cannot guarantee it would be a perfect solution for macro photography usage needs. However, it would be a good option for portraiture, standard photography or (some) wide angle photography usage needs.
