Used Flashpoint MF-R76 Macro Ring Flash

The Creative Light Solution for all Macro Photographers
The Flashpoint MF-R76 Macro Ring Flash is the macro photographer's lighting solution for revealing the wondrous world of small objects. The shadowless flash technique may not be new, but the Flashpoint MF-R76 brings all the advances of strobe together in this version of the ringflash. The flash is compatible with Canon, Nikon, Sony, Panasonic, Olympus, Fuji, and Pentax DSLR cameras with a hot-shoe.

The flash illuminates a nonreflective subject with a soft and even light, ideal for revealing small, intricate, and difficult-to-light details. Besides the advantage of piercing the depths hidden in the details, flash freezes action - from the rapid beating of wings to the leaping of amphibious creatures. Time magically appears at a standstill while one brief marvel of a moment is captured for all to appreciate. Ideal for photographers as well as medical professionals and the scientific community alike, macro photography is the key to those wonders waiting for all to observe and explore.

The ring light consists of two integral components: a controller that slips into the camera's hot shoe and the ring flash, which mounts on the lens filter thread. Flashpoint includes 49, 52, 55, 58, 62, 67, 72, and 77mm adapter rings to ensure broad compatibility with most macro, zoom, and standard lenses. The control unit powers the flash through the time-proven Flashpoint VB26 and WB100 rechargeable lithium battery packs, which can provide up to 660 full-power flashes. The manual unit regulates light intensity in 1/3 EV increments from 1/1 full power to 1/128, and a large LCD panel conveniently displays flash settings for easy navigation and control.

The critical imaging needs of the medical and scientific community welcome the use of precision exposure and the open, shadow-free illumination of the ring light. The use of telephoto macro lenses and the exceptional strength of the MF-R76 Macro Ring Flash provide a safe working distance for medical photographers during surgical sessions or dental procedures. No detrimental heat is transmitted to the subject, and delicate tissues are protected from the ill effects of instruments in proximity to the operating theater.

The Flashpoint MF-R76 Macro Ring Flash is the creative light solution for all macro photographers, enthusiasts, and those working in specialist medical and scientific applications.

Versatile Lighting Controls
A dual flash tube design with a separate A/B brightness control system allows either flash tubes to fire individually or simultaneously, from full power to 1/128 at 1/3 stop increments to create a sense of 3D dimension to master light to dark ratio effects for outstanding results. Images snap with richness and vibrancy. Moisture glistens on the surface of vegetation and fruits without glare.

Close-up Creativity
The ring shape flash head design, attached to the front of the lens, provides illumination without getting in the way or casting harsh top or side shadows. The arrangement is ideal for photographers to shoot close-up images on-location, facing a spontaneous situation in the wild or in the studio under controlled conditions.

"Focus" on High Efficiency
Two focus assist lamps are fashioned with 10 levels of power to aid ratio focusing and composition easier in low light. Not only is the subject captured with the form depicted clearly, but the visualization is previewed.
