📸 Canon MR-14EX Macro Ring Lite for Canon DSLR Cameras Review

The Canon MR-14EX was a great addition to my macro kit. It attaches quickly and easily to my compact 50mm macro lens and illuminates very large subjects that a regular on-camera flash can't reach, eliminating the need for off-camera flash. My only gripe is that the inner diameter of the ring is too small for larger diameter lenses (I often like to use my sharp Canon 24-70mm lens with macro rings for extreme macro photography). There is no easy way to attach the MR14EX to this lens. Sometimes I…

The Canon MR-14EX Macro Ring Lite is a great close-up flash. As you can tell from the model number, it has a guide number of 14, which means it has an effective range of around 14 meters (or 46 feet).

If you can't do all your macro shots outdoors in bright light, or if you don't have the luxury of using spotlights to create a macro scene, you'll need a flash or maybe even a main flash and a few slaves to light tricky macro scenes. The Canon MR-14EX is one of two macro flash…
