Macro flash

Macro flash

Compatible with lenses that accept 58mm filters.
I use this macro flash with a Canon 100mm 2.8 macro USM 1:1 +macro extension tubes. The light is strong, enough to be use camera from hand. You can take pictures at 1/100, F6, and ISO 400 f6 in house.
Generated light is much superior to the macro ring with 72 LEDs.
