I bought this product in order to have enough light for macro prohotgraphy. It is portable and need small space in my back pack. Operates with 4 AA batteries. It's easy to use, has different functions and settings. Pros: easy settings, adjustable to different lenses via adapter, light function Cons: Flash not strong enough for me (10 GN), higher ISO required, more color adjusting work required during processing
I bough this lamp I am only interested in the occasional macro shot and bulked at the £400 to £500 charged for macro flash by the camera manufacturers. What you get with the Meike is essentially a ring of LED lights with a battery box that fits on a hot shoe. There are also a selection of adapters for different sized filter threads. Just screw an adapter to the lens and click the lamp unit to it. As a flash I don't think it is particularly good with all shots being under exposed. This is probably a problem with syncing to the camera properly as if the unit is set to be on all the time the shots are OK. It is possible to set the output level when the unit is used as a lamp which may be helping the exposure. It is also possible to set whether left or right only lights are used. I have not found this particularly useful and as the lamp unit is loose on the adapter rings, left quickly becomes top if the unit is not fixed with sticky tape. I have been a little critical of this unit but for a price which is less than 10% of the cost of a Nikon unit it does provide decent illumination for macro shots so is well worth the money.Vollständige Rezension lesen
THis is a good alternative to using camera built in (fill) flash - Much better lighting with less shadow. It is also very useful for macro photo. Usage is simple. You choose between flash and light. Also possible to use only half circle of the ring for shadow effects. Finallly light strenght can be adjusted.
Easy to fit and works well for macro use and cheaper than a traditional ring flash, flash feature not as good as having the light on because of exposure problems but to be expected for the price. Remember if you buy one to hold the On button for a few seconds to switch the unit on
I choose this ring flash over the others on sale due to the filter ring adaptor sizes, it went upto 77mm and allows me to use it my Canon 24-70mm lens with 77mm filter. I had hoped it would have been a little brighter (higher GN) but really not a problem once you konw where your settings are, the LEDs are bright enough when you get in close and the 7 step control over brightness is very useful, you can have all on or flash at any of the power setting, for close up portrait work I would recommend using the flash option as the LEDs are dazzling when up close to your subject. It give a nice even light all round and has the option for left or right hand side lighting as well. It is not a heavy unit and although plastic it is not flimsy.
