What is the best ring flash for fashion photography under £200?

Im wanting to do portrait, location and full body shots using a portable or on head ring flash! but im a student so anything more than £200 pounds will starve me for a month! So where and what is the best RING FLASH for me to get? would a macro ring flash be suitable?
thank you
something more prises would be more helpful. a company name or shop in London that sells cheap lights?

The problem with getting a cheaper ringflash is that for the sort of work you wish to use it for, it will be woefully underpowered. The macro ringflashes are made for close-up work and don’t have much kick.

Go to the strobist blog and check out their resources. You should be able to find a solution from them that will fit both your needs and your wallet.

SJ-2 Set of 8 Color Filters for the SB-R200 Macro Flash. $24.99 The Nikon SJ-2 filter kit allows for modification of the SB-R200 flash output (used in the R1 and R1C1 flash systems) to be matched to the background scene. This is especially useful for digital cameras where “white balance” can be controlled. For instance, when shooting with a flash under fluorescent lights the foreground will be white, but the background will still have a green cast. By using a green filter the flash output gets converted to match the rest of the scene, and the camera’s White Balance setting can then be set to “Fluorescent”. The blue, yellow, red and amber filters can be used for creative lighting control, and can add dramatic colors to the image, especially when more than one flash is used.
