I've been using my medical nikkor since the 70's still working great. There are two available, I have the older one. None better for extreme macro. My Metz potato masher works great for middle macro with my 55mm nikkor with the head next to the lens and a white card on the other side.

Hey, Dan!

Can we also curse EKCo for dropping Panatomic-X?

Here's a book I'd recommend picking up:

The Nature Photographer's Complete Guide To Professional Field Techniques, written by John Shaw. ISBN # is 0-8174-5006-8 . There's a section in this book that discusses ring flashes and other closeup rigs. Specifically John Shaw's homemade "Butterfly" bracket. Well worth the read.
