Review: Macro Heaven - 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.
Review: Great Macro 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this light
*by S***R on April 20, 2014*

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.
