I've been reading a lot about them lately and can't figure out the appeal/value of a ring flash over a traditional on-camera or shoe-mount model. I get that it is better for macro or in cases where the lens causes a shadow due to size or wide angle.
Beyond that is there another reason they seem to be all the rage right now (or at least getting a lot of press)??
