Ring Lights: Pro vs. Speedlight Comparison

Mad props to NYC photographer John "Jean-Luc" Ricard, for boldly going where no one had gone before. He put together a video that tests the light quality differences between a $1,000+ professional ring flash and the speedlight-based Ray Flash ring flash adapter.

(Of course, since this was made, the Orbis ring flash adapter has popped onto the scene, too.)

This is exactly the kind of thing that helps photographers to decide which way to go when taking the plunge. If you were trying to decide between high-end and lightweight, you'll probably owe John a beer after this.
