The MR-14EX II Macro Ring Lite Flash from Canon is designed for use with Canon macro lenses for close-up photography. With a guide number 34' at ISO 100 per side, its twin tube design allows each flash tube to fire independently, or simultaneously to provide a combined guide number of 46' at ISO 100. White LED focusing lamps and two types of modeling lights allow for accurate previewing of the light's effect.

An illuminated dot-matrix LCD screen lets you make adjustments to the flash in both bright- and low-light situations. The MR-14EX II has 12 custom functions, and supports wireless E-TTL when linked with one or more Speedlite 600EX-RT flashes. The ring flash can be powered by 4x AA batteries or an optional CP-E4 battery pack.

This unit is compatible with the Canon EF 50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro, EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM, EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM, and MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x Macro Photo lenses. If using the EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM lens, the separate Macrolite Adapter 67 is required; if using the EF 180mm f/3.5L Macro USM lens, the separate Macrolite Adapter 72C is required.

Q: 2. Is this compatible with the Canon R5 with the use of a filter adapter?

A: Yes, you can adapt the Canon MR-14EX II Macro Ring Lite to other lenses via the use of a step-up/down ring with a Macrolite adapter. Please be aware that with some lenses this might cause a slight vignetting, but apart from that, usage should be relatively seamless.

Q: 5. Are there other ring adapters that I can use for other sized lenses than the macrolite adapter sizes? For example, a 62mm macro lens.

A: Yes there are. If you regard the Accessories tab on this flash's product link, under the header Other flash accessories you will see adapter ring options for 52mm, 58mm, 67mm, and 72mm. To adapt it to a lens with a 62mm filter thread size, you would need to purchase the 67mm adapter ring for the flash, and then use a 62-67mm step-up ring to connect to that. See the two links below for the required adapter rings to connect it to your 62mm lens:http://bhpho.to/1frDLaahttp://bhpho.to/1lVIgRi

Q: 6. Can this be used with Canon Mark 11 Lense 24-105mm 4Lwith IS ?

A: Probably not, to use the flash on any lens other than the original 100mm F2.8 non-IS lens you need a macro lite ring adapter and BH doesn't carry a 77mm one so I don't think Canon makes one in that size. The only sizes listed are 52, 58, 67, and 72mm. The 67 is the most popular as it fits the 100mm F2.8 IS macro lens. The 24-105mm lens has a 77mm filter thread size

Q: 7. Does this work with EOS rebel T1i (500D)

A: Yes, this ring lite flash is fully compatible with the Canon EOS Rebel T1i camera. You may wish to check the specific lens you intend on using it with to make sure it has a filter size that is compatible with the optional adapter rings for the flash to make sure they fit.

Q: 8. Do I need an adapter for use on a Canon Macro EF 1:2.8 L IS USM lens? It is 67 mm.

Q: 9. I have a 58mm sized Canon EF 100mm macro (non-IS) lens. Do I need to buy an adapter to use this flash?

Q: 10. Can I use this macro ring with a 50mm?

A: You could use the MR-14EX TTL Macro Ring Lite Flash with a 50mm lens. You will need an adapter ring, the size of which will depend on the filter thread size of the lens.
