Yeah, i wanted to get the speedlite. But then I don't wanna spend another or higher amount on a ringflash. The speedlite 580's got a ringflash you can connect and mount on your camera, but that'll cost another 270 euros. So, the 580 bout 375 euros plus the 270 you come down to 645 euros. That for not having any experience with macro or flash units, I'd say it's a bit much. Also a bit more then I'd like to spend. I do like the 580 a lot.
Then there's that tumax, for 96 euros I'll have a flash and a ringflash. It's supposed to get 32 meters, autofocus, p/ttl and ttl, bounce. It really seems like something nice to start off with and if I really dig it, I'll go for some more expensive stuff. Maybe the 580 with the ringflash, maybe a seperate ringflash, I'll see by then.
I also have to buy a macro lens. Thinking about the Canon EF 50mm f/2.5 Macro or this one Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 USM Macro. Anyway, I think I'll love taking macro pictures of scary bugs
