Get professional quality, even lighting with the Nissin MF18 Macro Ring Flash. Its professional features and precise tuning options give the user full creative control.
Available for Canon, Nikon and Sony systems, the flash head extends in diameter to accommodate lenses up to 82mm. The circular flash tube and LED modelling lamps provide flattering, even lighting, with a Guide Number of 16 at ISO100.
The MF18 can be used as a master flash to control off-camera flash, thanks to its wireless TTL and multi-function remote control system. TTL exposure level is set automatically, but can also be manually adjusted as required. In manual mode, the power ratio can be adjusted from full power to 1/64 in 1/3 EV steps for stable and consistent quality when shooting highly detailed imagery, balancing the power of the light with the ambient conditions.
Adapter rings for lens sizes 52, 58, 62, 67, 72 and 77mm are included in the package, with 49, 55 and 82mm adapter rings available separately. The expanding head makes it easy to avoid unsightly vignetting or problematic hidden corners during macro photography.
Amongst other features, the MF18 includes rear curtain sync for incredible effects with slow shutter speeds, as well as high speed sync for daylight photography. An intuitive menu system on a full colour display makes it incredibly easy to fine-tune the settings, and a USB terminal allows the user to upgrade the firmware whenever needed. The built-in LED focus lamps have light power ratio controls to get the perfect focus before shooting begins.
The fast-loading battery magazine takes four AA batteries, all facing the same direction, allowing batteries to be accurately inserted even in low light. An X-terminal socket for flash synchronisation also supports the Nissin Power Pack. Supplied in a protective, compartmentalised hard case.
