In Mastering Canon EOS Flash Photography, 2nd Edition from Rocky Nook, photographer NK Guy brings the original book up to date as he covers the newest Canon gear to hit the market since the first edition was published in 2010. This includes coverage of the radio-enabled Canon Speedlite 600EX-RT and Canon Speedlite Transmitter ST-E3-RT, as well as the other Speedlites that have been released since the first edition's publication: Canon Speedlite 90EX, 270EX II, 320EX, 430EX III-RT, and the 600EX.

Guiding you through Canon's Speedlight system, Guy shows you how to use the speedlights on location and in the studio. He covers the fundamentals of flash metering technology, discusses key lighting concepts, and documents a wide range of Canon and third-party equipment. Also covered are universal flash accessories, studio gear, and radio triggers. The book is illustrated with diagrams that demonstrate important functions and lighting arrangements, and accompanying photos show the results of these sophisticated flash setups.

Whether you're just getting started with flash, or you've picked up the bug for off-camera flash lighting, or you're making the leap into advanced studio work with speedlights, Mastering Canon EOS Flash Photography is an invaluable resource for understanding how to make the most of off-camera speedlight photography.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Could you put a adapter on the end for a Nikon Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/3.5 and use it to scan film on sony e mount cameras?

A: It will work but I would advise getting an adapter with an adjustable aperture ring or if the lens itself has an aperture ring you can control.

Q: 2. What is the the extension tubes' screw thread size?

A: The FotodioX Macro Extension Tube Set for Canon EOS (EF, EF-S) Cameras: for Extreme Close-Up Photography does not have a screw thread size: one end of each tube is compatible with a Canon EF camera and the other end is compatible with an EF or EF-S lens.

Q: 3. I have a Fuji XE2 with the 18-55 kit lens. Is it compatible?

A: Yes. This will work with any X-mount Fujifilm camera. Keep in mind that this is a manual-focus only extension tube with no electrical contacts. You will need to enable "lensless shooting" in the menu of your XE2.

Q: 4. Does it make sense to combine an extension tube with a macro lens (OM 5 + Zuiko 60mm macro)?

A: One can use extension tubes with Macro lenses to get even closer. This is something that can be effective. But the FotodioX Macro Extension Tube Set for Micro Four Thirds (MFT, M4/3) Cameras: for Extreme Close-Up Photography are manual extension tubes only. They would not allow for any focus or aperture control when used with the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 60mm f/2.8 Macro Lens, and so would not be a good combination. If you want to use extension tubes with that lens, instead get the FotodioX Pro Automatic Macro Extension Tube Kit for Micro Four Thirds, BH #FOMCRMFTAFKI (https://bhpho.to/3IlwVeY).

Q: 5. Is it compatible with Nikon 850? Any other better kit, suggestions?

A: The FotodioX Macro Extension Tube Set for Nikon F-Mount Cameras: for Extreme Close-Up Photography is a manual macro extension tube set that would be compatible for use with the Nikon D850 DSLR Camera. If you want a set of macro extension tubes that will retain automatic electronic communication between the camera and lens (which would allow you to retain autofocus and automatic exposure capability), the Vello EXT-ND2 Auto Focus Extension Tube Set for Nikon F-Mount Camera and Lenses, B&H # VEEXTND2, would also work for your usage needs.

Q: 6. Can I use this extension kit with a Nikon D60?

A: You should be able to use this with any F-Mount lens camera, but it will be only manual focus and build quality is not the best.

Q: 7. has anyone used these for micro four thirds? looking for some extension tubes for my fully manual lens so AF capabilities don't matter and considering these or the viltrox for m43

A: These extension tubes can definitely work well on a Micro 4/3 mount camera.

Q: 8. Are these tubes auto or manual? If so is there a specific Sony amount?

A: These are manual and made for Sony E mount. For A mount you would want these; B&H # FOMACUBESNYA

Q: 9. Will these work with EF-S STM lenses?

A: The FotodioX Macro Extension Tube Set for Canon EOS (EF, EF-S) can mount a EF-S STM. But everything will be manual. Focusing and Aperture control will be all manual. With a Canon lens you would not be able to control the aperture at all. And whether you can focus the lens while on the extension tubes will depend on the specific lens you are using. Some lenses need to be attached directly to the camera to have focus control. For automatic Focus and Aperture control I would look at the FotodioX Pro Auto Macro Extension Tube Kit for Canon EF & EF-S Lenses linked here. https://bhpho.to/34CeJZN

Q: 10. Can you use these rings to duplicate slides?

A: Yes, with the right lens. Your slides will have to be evenly back lit and you will also need to have the system optically centered, aligned and stable. Extension tubes are made for general close up and macro photography. If you only want to copy slides check out "slide copiers" listed at B&H.
