Macro Ring Flash
Oct 27, 2013 08:25:20 #
LED ring flash is a bit of a misnomer. I've never used one but I'm sure they're fine if you're using a tripod and your subject isn't moving about. I'm not sure how useful they'd be when chasing bugs.

Hello All,
I am curious if anyone has any experience with the Yongnuo Yn-14EX macro ring flash. I was researching ring flashes for my Canon 100mm macro lens and came upon Yongnou's answer to the Canon MR-14EX. Any thoughts/experiences as always are greatly appreciated.

I've just been looking at the Yn-14EX macro ring flash on ebay. I don't know your finances but would say at that price it's worth a go. Check first that it has an adapter to fit your lens.

I have several ring/point flashes. They are all from the 80's & 90's & work perfectly with all of my DSLR's... Most only cost around $25...Less than the LED ring light I got, but way more powerful& versatile...

Not everyone can afford to spend several hundred on a flash that may not even be used that much.
I was given a LED ring flash for a present and experimented with it. The pictures are not perfect but certainly did what I wanted reasonably well. I could get a flash for 20x as much - but would the pictures be 20x better? Would I use it enough to warrant the cost?
The answer to both questions is no!

I bit the bullet and got one from ebay. And it has the right adapter to my lens.

This may be the answer to everyone who could not afford dumb Cannik money.
How do you find it

I received the ring flash the other day and I wasn't really that surprised. The quality is there. Well made, easy to mount and use, came with 4 different adapter rings and a nice case. Now I can't compare this to a Canon ring flash directly, and I have not taken any serious macro shots with it yet, but I have mounted it on the camera and put it through all it's paces and programs and in the end, WOW! For roughly 1/5 the cost of a Canon, I'm impressed and quite pleased! Now, as soon as my current work load eases up a bit I'm going to take some shots with it and see what happens!
