Buyer beware!

"Not used. See reasons below. Problems Encountered: This kit is NOT compatible with Nikon's zoom-micro 70-180mmlens, plus a host of other Nikon lenses. Nikon says the weight of thisSpeedlight when attached to the front of the lens will causeexcess strain on the barrel and helicoid, affecting lensperformance.

"I was about to buy a ring flash;however, I am happy that I decided to go for this more useful product. I am able to use the individual flashes as a ring light and also as off camera units.
