Canon MT-24EX Macro Twin Lite

The Macro Twin Lite gives serious close-up, nature, and macro enthusiasts a different option in macro lighting�a directional quality of light, as opposed to the rather “flat� character of the traditional ring lite. Two separate flash heads can be swiveled around the lens, can be aimed separately, and even removed from their holder and mounted off-camera. Like the MR-14EX, the new Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX is fully E-TTL compatible with all EOS bodies, including digital SLRs, and even allows Wireless E-TTL flash control with one or more 550EX and/or 420EX “slave units�. It also provides easy ratio control of each flash head’s output, over a six-stop range.

Features:

• Twin-head macro flash unit, for directional lighting in close-up photography with full E-TTL automatic flash control (including with Digital EOS SLR bodies).

• Each head can be rotated around lens in an 80° arc, swiveled inward or outward over a 90° arc, and swiveled up and down over a 90° arc. Actual flash coverage is approximately 70° horizontal x 53° vertical (with the head in a horizontal position).

• Each head is removable, and has both a standard shoe-mount and 1/4-20 female tripod socket at the base to facilitate mounting off-camera.

• Powerful guide number (72 ft/22m) allows smaller apertures and greater depth-of-field when necessary.

• Full E-TTL automatic flash control with compatible EOS bodies, including EOS-1D, D60, and D30 digital SLRs. Reverts to standard “off the filmâ€? TTL control with older EOS 35mm bodies. E-TTL features supported include FE Lock, FP (high-speed) sync, ratio control of A:B flash heads over a six-stop range, and Wireless E-TTL control of off-camera 550EX and/or 420EX Slave Units (with compatible “Type Aâ€? bodies).

• Incandescent focusing lamps, and two different types of 1-second modeling flash allow easy focusing and previewing of lighting effects.

• Mounts directly onto the following Canon EF Macro lenses: EF 50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro, EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro, EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro, and MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1~5x Macrophoto. Attaches with accessory ring Macro Lite Adapter 72C to EF 180mm f/3.5L Macro.
