Questions & Answers

DONA J : will this fit a canon g16?ANDICO O : As far back as I can remember all the Canon G-series cameras take E-TTL flashes. In that case, this one is compatible. However you would need an appropriate step-up ring adapter for the front end of the G16 so that this flash can screw onto the G16, e.g. the Canon LA-DC58L. That said, this DRF-14 macro ring flash is definitely "you get what you pay for" territory. Mine had a loose battery spring (from the store!) which makes turning it on a hit-and-miss proposition. So unless there are no other options, the Canon macro flashes such as the MR-14EX (at five times the price) is a much better choice.GARY S : It has three Lens ring adapters, it should work. I have T3i and I use it with my 100mm macro lens.
(unknown) ( : Has anyone used this with a 60D and a 100mm F2.8 macro lens?ROGER W : sorry, I have not tried this combinationROBERT O : I have this flash and have used it extensively with my canon 100mm F2.8 macro lens. My camera is a 550D/T2i, not the 60D, though I believe they use the same 18.0 megapixel CMOS sensor. I have been very happy with the results and have had no complaints. A friend of mine borrowed my lens and this flash and used it on his Canon EOS 30D also with good results. It's great to be able to now get macro shots that are well lit with good depth of field.

As advertized

Nothing fancy but a basic ring flash which works fine with a reasonable price. I use it for dentistry, intraoral photos are well lit just have to remember to turn it off when done. Quickly loads a charge for use with fresh batteries.

DID NOT ORDER

I DID NOT ORDER THE BACKPACK OR THE 2 MACRO FLASHES. I ALREADY HAVE THEM. ALL I WANT ARE THE FILTERS.

Functional

Not too sturdy, but fine for intra-oral photography in the office.

DRF-14 Macro Ring Flash in Southeast AK

I use the ring flash for macro work in perennially dark Southeast Alaska...down close to the ground...usually prone with the camera on a sand bag or mounted on a mini-tripod. The unit has functioned faithfully! There has been only one technical problem - something that might trouble other users. I backpack the unit over long distances. Considerable force is placed on the equipment. One way occasion the batteries flattened the metal contacts at the bottom of the battery wells and the flash ceased functioning. The fix, of course, was simple and did not result in down-time.

Great general use macro flash.

I use this for photographing insects, flowers, and other invertebrates in nature.

an affordable ringlight....finally

I bought a Canon 60mm macro lens and wanted a lower-power ring light to use with it. While the Canon ringlight is wonderful, it is also an expensive item. This one works just fine for me with my Canon XT, XTi and Xsi bodies and is a third the price. The unit recycles fast and gives uniform illumination...it's easy to use...just screw it onto the lens and start shooting.

You got what you paid for

Very cheap construct, back panel already came off when I open the box, very cheap and poor construct in general, but it work so far. Severe Vignette when using 50mm lens which I have no problem before with the Sigma Macro flash, but the Sigma Macro flash die on me after 1 yr and 10 months of not very heavy use. So more expensive doesn't make it better. Praying for this thing to work for me for longer time.

Works well for me

Excellent value - a fraction of the price of its competitors that I know of. I use it for dental photos and it does the job well
