Ring flash for Canon DSLR and 72mm thread?

I'm looking for a ring flash to use for fashion, etc. All I'm finding is a ring flash "not recommended for digital SLRs". This include's Canon's ML-3, a cheapo Phoenix model, and the Vivitar 6000AF. What happens if I put it on a D30 or D60 (the body I should be getting in the next couple of weeks)? Will I just lose TTL?

Also, my 28-70/2.8 is a 72mm filter size. I haven't found a ring flash with an adapter bigger than 58mm. What gives? Will I have to buy another lens just to fit this flash? It doesn't seem like it's worth it. Thanks for any help!

QUITE $$$$ huh? fashion and nature are APPLES and ORANGES when it comes to "ring light"

Dang, that's a lot more than the $150 jobbies I was looking at, lol. Yea, I don't think I need this ring flash that much after all ;) Thanks for the reply!
