EOS 550EX as macro flash

[Ken Durling]

Would anyone care to share their experience with the (one or more) 550 
light as a macro flash?  I have a Tamron 90/2.8 that I dearly love and use 
mostly in available light.  With my FD set-up I am more accustomed to using 
a (non-TTL) flash with a variable power setting at very low - 1/16, 1/32 - 
power settings as fill flash for very close macro work, where the light 
cannot be all that far from the subject, due to shadowing, cable length, 
etc.  Can a similar approach be employed with the 550?  Or whatever 
provisions are there?  I currently have a 420EX, and get fairly decent 
results from that, but I want more control.

Thanks

Ken
