Has anyone used this on the EF 180mm L f/3.5 Macro USM? Does it adapt to the 180's 72mm mount? Does the flash work well at that focal length?

I have a friend who uses it with a 180L lens. You do need a 72mm macrolite adapter. It works fine with that lens.

It won't fit on the 72mm without a $25 adapter. With the adapter, it works great.

I haven't tried it myself, but I don't think there would be a better combo for this purpose. I mean a 100mm macro with this specific of flash, Yongnuo or not.

They way I did it was unscrewing the macro lens and then screwed the wide lens directly to my Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 prime lens. I'm holding the wide lens in my hands now, and I can see the threading on the outside. To be candid with you, the results were very disappointing. In my opinion it was a waste of time and money. Right now saving for a real Canon wide angle lens, (e.g., Canon EF-S 10-18 f/4.5-5.6 IS STM which can be had here at Amazon.com for $299.00. I hope this information is useful to you.

Yes . . . FD-EF See: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001D8X72G?ref_=pe_527950_33920250. I use it with all my old FD lens to adapt them to an EOS camera. I haven't really noticed any distortion. It even works on a doubler (2X) with long lens.

I've not tried it for macro, so can't help you there, My friend has mine in Europe now so I can't try it. Maybe if you google the question, they will know or the manual may pop-up. Aside from my SLR, this takes great telephotos.

Not sure about ef-s because that lens is made for crop. However, 100f2 should be no problem. Have yet to have a compatibility issue with an EF lens. However... sometimes my 100 macro won't go to f2.8, sticks at 4. My 85 and 50 Let won't go down to f1.2, but it reads f1.3.

Yes, I am using it with the "EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM" lens. Keep in mind that autofocus does not work as your lens will keep searching for the focus and it will not find it, so you must use manual focus with it. When you take pictures with this extender, you only have a few inches from your subject before it loses focus.

There is not enough clearance for EF-S lenses. I used this adapter for my Canon EF 100-400mm, with Olympus EPL5, it works fine, but since stabilization do not work, you will have to work in the shutter range of at least 1/200 and more than 1/800 when you zoom to 800mm. So, yes, try not to use too much zoom.

I have the flash mounted on the Canon 100mm Macro. The 67mm cap is VERY picky about getting on at all. But, once it's on, it seems to stay. Looks like it needs to be vertically aligned with the flash (i.e. printing on flash and lens cap is horizontal) It seems to work, but is not as truly fitted as it should be. Hope this helps!

This is a great item! Yes it can be fitted. It comes with a ton of adaptors, from 49-77 filter sizes. I found this is actually a better-made item that the Canon one I trashed. Its an off-name but dont be fooled. This its a great macro flash..

I shoot at ISO 100, f22 and 200 shutter speed with an 85mm macro lens. There is a pretty wide range of flash intensity with this flash if you use TTL metering. You may want to use an f-stop on the higher side, at lleast 12 or higher, for some depth of field. It won't be very deep with the extension tubes.

It worked well with my ef len but seems to cloud my photos with my efs lens. i have noticed many of the extentions say they will not work with efs style lens. good luck, and if it won't work at least Amazon is great about returns.

The flash fits a 58mm filter thread. You need to determine the filter size of the lens with which you wish to use it and get a thread-in adapter to adapt to that size. If your lens is significantly bigger than 58mm (filter size) then you may get some vignetting if you try and adapt the light. In other words if you adapt to a smaller filter size than 58mm you should have no problem, but if you try to adapt to a significantly larger filter size-- 77mm, for instance-- you're going to get vignetting.

Yup, it will work on any EF or EF-S mount. Obviously, you will have to adjust the aperture and focus accordingly. Also, adapting older lenses to digital sensors often results in chromatic aberration, so make sure to look out for that (its generally fairly easy to correct in post however).

I use it on a rebel, just a bang around camera I use outdoors. Don't know much about the 60D but I imagine it works where an EF lens will.

I use mine on my D90 and it works great. I purchased it to use as a macro lens so that I could do close ups of flowers and small items. The 2.8 aperture is probably not fast enough for movement in low light. To use it, you would have to crank up the ISO and introduce noise. If you can use flash though it would work if you are close enough to the action. Another possibility might be a 50mm 1.8 and then crop the photo, depending on how close you are to the kids.

That would be a poor choice to use with extension tubes. Its minimum focus distamce is 1.8m (6 feet). You'd need to lower its filter size to 72mm in order to acquire and attach a 72mm macrolite adaptor (not included). You'br better off using something normal to wide with extension tubes, or even better some of the macro lens options straight with the flash (macrolite adaptors are required for all but the mpe65).
