Simple
Simply attach the Macro Ring Lite to the lens for macro
and
beautiful
shots that are a touch different than the average
Because light is evenly distributed,
strong shadows are less likely to occur
Extreme close-ups
of a single button
on a macro lens
Because macro lenses are designed for close-ups,
you can focus in close on a single small button.
The Macro Ring Lite makes it possible to perfectly
illuminate the subject, whereas a built-in flash would
be inadequate at this distance.
Easily and beautifully capture the details of trinkets and accessories

a diameter of approximately 0.8 inch (2cm), the fine
indentations and ridges, as well as textures are captured
in great detail with lighting from the MR-14EX II.
Blocked flash
and strong shadows
A shoe-mounted flash causes strong
shadows in the photo. Also, when the
light from the flash is obstructed by
the lens, the brightness differs where
light is illuminating the subject and
where it is insufficient.
Because light is not obstructed
you can get close to the subject
