Anyone use this with an mpe 65 lens. Does it cause any problems on extreme micro and the ring flash for anomaly on the light?

Sorry, no experience with the canon MPE-65 lens or with a ring flash. I would imagine that in certain circumstances, any filter could create a problem. If so, in that circumstance, removing the filter would solve it. I keep these XS-Pro filters on my L lenses, to protect the glass. These filters are quite thin and optically neutral. But if I were using with ring flash, and notice a problem, I'd unscrew it and leave it off for that particular shoot.

I don't know. I love my lens. Haven't had any problems with it. Wish i could buy a stronger one than 200mm. Sherry

I have had no problem, although I am not sure how the mc30 would hit your lense. I would try it ,but may but it from a local store so you can try it in the store.

Yes, I have and it works great but only in bright light situations. It essentially doubles all aspects of the attached lens. But using this device in low light situations reduces light through the lens and the auto focus may not work properly in low light situations. I photographed a house across the canyon which was about 1/3 mile away and it looked close and the picture was bright and clear.

Does anyone know if this is mountable to the 20mm micro 4/3 Lumix lens they both have the threaded 46mm but I have run into issues where the conversion lens actually touches my lens glass with cheaper units?Thanks, no retailer has these near me in PHX so I cannot try fitting them together first.

I use mine with my X-E2 and Nikon AF-D 60mm micro. The fit and finish of the adapter is excellent. The only issue is how it makes the camera front heavy, since it moves the weight of even the lightest lenses away from the body. But that's inherent in all adapters and adapted lenses, and not a knock on the product.

Yes, I have recently taken delivery of one and it works very well on my Blackmagic Pocket Camera. It was a good buy and the lens is of surprisingly high quality. It will become a niche lens in my MFT collection. Andrew. Cape Town, South Africa

I am hoping to use this on an E-510 with their 50mm macro lens and extension tube which have 52mm threads and a 52-58mm adapter. Assuming you purchased this flash, are you using the same set-up and what has been your experience? If anyone else is using this with a similar Olympus camera, I'd like your comments also.

Yes I received mine a week ago and the lens crashes into the filter; not just in macro but any time the camera struggles to focus. Reading online apparently the lens can protrude a little when focusing causing the crash. I think I got a lemon so the adapter ring is going back.Update: nevermind I'm just a dumbass. I had accidentally assembled it in the wrong order. All is good and focus works fine. Since it is possible to put together backwards it makes me wonder how many of the focus reports are just user error.

The problem is the ring interferes with the lens barrel when it's fully retracted. Zoom it out, attach the ring, then when it retracts it will not quite go in as far but will still work. I hope this helps you out altho I dont know if there is much of a loss in focal length, decide for yourself.

I used it with my canon 60d and t4i with no problems. I work for Lifetouch national school studios with their Nikon d 200's with a large power light with no problems as well. On the transmitter that goes on the camera it only has one little pin in the middle that touches the flash mount receptor. I hope that's understandable. I don't know how to explain it. Anyways it works with my personal cameras and work cameras no problems.

Dawn, my case had a recess that allowed the ring to be placed as close as possible to the lens. Even at that I had problems with lens flare which washed out about half the image, so I'm not sure it'll behave differently on your case. Hope this helps.Ron

Hi Michael, for some reason I've returned this item...Not because of having any trouble! I've decided to but real macro lens instead of using something like that just because of quality of the image with the Nikon macro lenses. Sorry

I'd suggest you use what you have before getting additional gear! I own this lens and I have not needed any ring flash. the Canon flash/lineup set low would all suffice. Or even a light reflector would work as well. As my grandmother would say" Finish what you have on your plate first, before adding something else,!

I have used this with my D90 and D40, both with no problem. Have you checked that the setting on the lens is AF, not MF? It is kind of tricky, but the rule of thumb is if you see both the AF and MF showing, then you are good. If you only see MF showing, then it is wrong. Also make sure the camera body's setting is on AF.

I have used it with the NEEWER CN-160 160PCS LED Dimmable Ultra High Power Panel Digital Camera / Camcorder Video Light and the Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flash with no problems. With the video light I extended it to its max height and it was very stable. It is a very bright light, best used indirectly off the ceiling.

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?!
