  • Great Macro flash
Size: Nikon Fit Flash
I use this for dentistry with a 105mm macro 1:1 lens and it works great. I used to be a professional photographer but always used a studio ring flash for macro photography. Decided upon this flash when I needed a lens mounted ring flash. This flash is very bright for macro photography and very quick and easy to control. Color screen is a great feature and it makes adjustments quick and easy. Screen has a gyroscope that automatically rotates when the camera rotates to make reading it easier. Comes in a nice faux leather foam padded box with snap buttons. Flash comes with multiple sizes of lens adapters. Easily clips on and off lens just by pinching two buttons on either side of the flash. You can also push a button to make the flash pop out to the sides making the flash spread wider. It's not powerful enough to expose correctly at any great distance (>4ft or so), but it is a macro flash. I typically shoot at f22 iso400 with shutter speed of 1/125th and distance of ~6-12 inches from subject. In my situation I need everything in focus and properly exposed and these settings give me good results with my lens. ... show more

  • Macro Heaven
Size: Nikon Fit Flash
I love macro photography, especially flowers. Bought this flash to use with a 100mm Tokina macro lens. Already have the Nissin Di866 speedlight and really like it. With this macro ring flash you get nice dark backgrounds in bright sunlight (shoot at f32) and great depth of field. Not so hot for portraits as you get the ring flash shape as a catch light in the subjects eyes. But, for macro, it's been really nice. ... show more

  • Love this light
Size: Canon Fit Flash
What can I say, for macro work its awesome. At first I ordered the Nikon version which won't work with Canon (or at least not with ttl). I was a little confused about which camera system the listed item was for but once I got the correct one all the features worked perfect. The carry box is awesome, very nice product. ... show more

  • Worth Every Penny
Size: Canon Fit Flash
I looked around at many ring flashes for macro. There were not a whole lot of reviews for this product. Nissin products have good quality associated with what they produce. I figured that they know what they are doing when it comes to photography and optics. I am very happy with this flash. I use it for all occasions, just not macro. But as far as the macro settings are concerned, they are top notch. This flash is very well engineered. The command at the macro level is outstanding. 1/6 steps of control. I have done a lot of testing and what they claim is true to form. 1/6 of a step is is a very small increment and their product delivers it. Their are about 20 steps at the macro level. You have at your command a super tight command of light for any situation. My setup is a Canon 20D and this flash works perfectly with it. I have tried out a lot of functions that the flash has to offer and I can't find anything to complain about. They have delivered a quality product. I wish I could insert a composite image to show how well this flash does it's job. Feel free to contact me at marksoftball@comcast.net for a pdf showing the flash at work. Just title it FLASH COMPOSITE so I don't miss it. I will give you a detailed account. I really like this product. Buy one. You won't be disappointed. This flash is for those who know what they want. Just so you know I am not affiliated with Nissin in any way. But I will go out of my way to support a good product. I read reviews closely. I buy a lot of my stuff based on others who can can deliver an unbiased opinion through personal field testing. ... show more
