Does anyone know if this ring flash will fit on a Sigma 105mm macro lens?? Would an adaptor be needed and if so what kind? Thanks!

Flash has a clip that attaches on the top of the lens. It can be used with Canon 100mm (filter must be removed) or 60mm Macro (filter can be attached) without adaptor but if you want to use it with Canon 180mm Macro (or any other lens) you will need adaptor.

How does it attach to the lens? Require an adaptor or go right on atop the UV filter on my lens?

Yes, most probably yes. Google it/ ask the vendor. I have the 80mm/2.5 macro lens

Yes it will but the only concern would be lighting. I would advise a ring flash with this lens. Yes lowering the aperture will make things brighter but you will also loose depth of field on a lower aperture in a macro shot. Just my humble opinion.

Best for macro. Use speedlight for other shots. Ring flash can produce "halo" for other than macro.

I usually do an immense amount of research before purchasing a product because I despise having useless pieces of equipment around me when I could just do the research and purchase once. I absolutely love my Canon 100mm macro lens and have found no need to purchase the Canon ring flash. Unless you have money burning a hole in your pocket I would advise against purchasing a ring flash, plus if you want to experiment, there are a ton of DIY methods of putting together a ring flash just to see if the effect is worth the purchase of a more expensive unit. Another con of the ring flash is that it uses an inordinate amount of power. I like to carry the minimal amount of equipment as often as possible. I'm out in the desert hiking here and there. It gets hot and I want to use all my energy on the nature around me. I don't want to hear the voice in my head that complains of the extra weight of extra batteries, a bulky ring flash etc. I purchased a dedicated regular flash (model doesn't matter, just the best that you can afford) that I can use as a slave to the pop up flash that's on the camera. I find that with a few tweaks on my part, such as using a piece of paper or reflector to bounce color, darkness or lightness onto the subject can do the job I want just as well. Now git out there and use that 100mm macro! What have you been waiting for?!

52mm. It actually fits perfectly my Canon 50mm f/1.8 II (the so called plastic fantastic lens, due to the high optics quality on spite of the plastic construction and low price). Since that lens has a pretty large maximum aperture and it can focus at very short distances (a macro lens) is a perfect combination for macros using this LED ring!

Sure it will, this lens works with my canon 7D and with my 60D . And does a great job with both of them . This is the best macro lens i ever used and its great for portraits also .

Since the flash ring attaches to the front of your lens, the adapter rings are used to mate the flash to various sizes (diameter) of lens. The Phoenix, as do most all ring flashes, comes with several adapter rings, one of which will probably screw into the front of your lens. Adapter rings are commonly available, so if you don't have a ring that matches your lens size, you can probably find one online that matches with the ring flash and your lens.

I use this on my 5d and 60d with the 580ex2. I have had no issue with this ring flash. The clear plastic does seem a little more flimsy than I was expecting but works without issue.

In a nutshell: it depends on the lens that you are using. The 10mm lenses uses a 40.5mm filter, and the flash ring doesn't have an adapter that small, but some of the other lenses that you can get take a larger filter, and Neewer provides an adapter for them. The light ring uses your filter threads to mount an adapter that the ring can sit on.

Yes, Sigma makes a Nikon EM-140DG version of this ring flash -- make sure to buy the Nikon version and not the Canon version. It is a good ring flash for macro (closeup) photography and compatible with the Nikon electronics. RS

Yes it can. It has a 50mm adapter that goes on between the lens and the camera. This also comes with a set of 6 or 7 adapters for different size of lenses. But the unit is designed to work with Macro lens. It does not replace the regular flash light. Hope it helps.

no it will not fit. you will need Canon Macrolite Adapter 67 ring to use this flash with the 100mm lens Canon Macrolite Adapter 67

Not sure, It fits my D60 and the lenses are interchangeable on all Nikon SLR's , I am very happy with the Ring flash!!!

Probably. I don't know what a "macro manual lens" is, but you might, at best, have to get some intermediary ring adapter to fit the threads of each device. You can probably get those at any camera shop or from Amazon.

To use the ring lite, I had to get a Canon Microlite Adapter 67 for my Canon 18-135mm lens and Canon 100mm macro lens

Well, I don't use a light ring, but LIGHT is pretty important unless you're in the sunlight or bright daylight. I did get a light ring but it was far too bright for macros. So if you could find a nice gentle light-i'd go for it. Otherwise, plan on inventing some other light source. Unless, as I said, you're in daylight. The lens doesn't shadow the subject the way the macro built into the camera does. You can get far enough away that you won't leave a shadow. Hope that helps.
