Bought this as an experiment to compare it to a Canon MR 14EX ring light (to see if the extra $500.00 for the Canon purchase price was warranted)...Well this works extremely well for the price, I tested out virtually every size ring on the lenses, high density plastic but durable enough for my purposes, the light just clips on and can be rotated around the ring, so that if you use the 1/2 off feature for either side, you can balance the lighting. It took a little adjustment to get the metering correct but stopped down an f stop was all it took. I really like the "constant" on feature and adjustable light levels, did just fine for some macros of flowers and bugs. I like this as its price point makes it almost a "disposable" item, so it's cheap enough to travel out in the field, as opposed to the MR 14EX which I use for precision tripod held studio work. This would make an excellent gift or for anyone wanting to venture into the macro world, and I used it with a canon 100mm f2 to do some portraits and it does leave a very cool catch light in the eyes. Very happy I bought this...

I purchased this item for my nephew and he absolutely enjoys it. For the price, it's worth it.
