Nissin MF18 Macro Ring Flash – Canon

The Nissin MF18 Macro Ring Flash is a precise and powerful flash which can help macro photographers vastly improve the quality of their close-up work. When using the unit’s fine macro mode the power output of the MF18 can be controlled with incredible accuracy in EV steps (1/128 to 1/1024) – this helps users take greater control in order to make it easier for them to achieve their ideal lighting. Variable power is also available in manual mode in EV steps (1/1 to 1/64).

This powerful ring flash features a tube flash system which is divided in half, with each tube able to be adjusted individually – this enables creative lighting effects. Thanks to wireless TTL and a multi-function remote control system, the Nissin MF18 macro ring flash can control slave units with +/- 3 stops EV compensation. A LED modelling lamp is available to aid with focussing in low light conditions, while anodised aluminium adapter rings are available for using the Nissin MF18 macro ring flash with a variety of lenses.

The Nissin MF18 Macro Ring Flash runs on 4xAA batteries, which are readily available. The guide number of this unit is rated at 16m at ISO100, while the colour temperature is consistently rated at 5600K.
