Macro lens MPE-65mm plus Ring light MR14 EX
Hi guys,
I thought I would post pictures of the MPE-65mm lens for folk to see what it looks like I have been asked about this lens by a few folk and thought it might be helpful to be able to see it in the flesh :)
below is the extended version of the lens at 5x magnification.

I wish they have this for the Nikon system. Combined with the Nikon R1C1 it should be excellent!
I don’t like the ‘ring’ reflection of ring lights so when I use them I use black tape to cover parts of it. Now where did I put my old ring light??

I love my MP-E 65 …. I’m using it with a speedlight right now. Can’t decide on the ring flash or the twin flash though.

I have never tried the twin flash because I take insect shots in their natural habitat I would not have time to position them effectively.
The only down side to a ring flash is the actual ring light that can appear on shiny surfaces like water bubbles. You can put tissue over the flash but it only reduces it.
