Anybody using Fuji s3 pro with Sigma 105mm F2.8 DG Macro lens? I just bought my macro lens , because i love the macro photos.And everybody told me the build in flash is not good enough, for macro photography. Please help me out what can i use? Do i need a buy a special named brand ring flash, or twins flash, or just sb800 with flash box (maybe home made box).
Please give me an ideas.Thank you!

You'll get a shadow on the pictures if you use the in-built flash with the lens hood on. On my Canon, I don't get the shadow if I take the hood off.

Take a look at the picures at the end of this gallery (not mine):

for a cheap way to improve the performance of your in-built flash for macro...
