Utilizing E-TTL (enhanced through- the-lens mode) technology, it takes full advantage of the flash performance of the Canon EOS-1V, EOS-3, and other E-TTL cameras, and also supports E-TTL wireless auto flash, when used with at least one Canon 550EX Speedlite flash. The circular twin flash tubes of the MR-14EX can fire at even power, or vary between themselves over a six-stop range. The controller unit has an illuminated LCD panel, and the MR14-EX also accepts optional high-capacity battery packs. The MR-14EX attaches directly to Canon's EF 50mm f/2.5 compact macro, EF 100mm f/2.8 macro (both versions), and MP-E 65mm macrophoto lenses, and can also be used with EF 180mm f/3.5L macro USM via the Macrolite adapter 72C. Product Description A Macro Ring Light that ensures correct exposure for extreme close-ups; Twin tubes fire together or independently. Review: A Necessary Accessory for Serious Macro Photographers - If you are a serious close-up or macro photographer, sooner or later (but probably sooner) you will need an illumination source to make up for the falloff in light transmission that occurs with close focus at short distances. If you can't do all your macro photography outdoors in bright light, or if you don't have the luxury of building a macro stage with flood lights, you will need a flash attachment -- or perhaps even a primary flash and a couple of slaves to illuminate complex macro scenes. For general purpose illumination on close subjects, the Canon MR-14EX is one of two macro flash units that are just what the doctor ordered. More about the other one below. An ordinary camera-top flash won't help much with macro photography. Even if you can angle the head down far enough to illuminate your subject, you will cast unwelcome shadows below and behind it. A lens-mounted flash like this ring light will push illumination straight forward on your subject, minimizing and in some cases completely erasing unwanted shadow effects. There are two light sources in the ring, and electronic controls allow you to balance the light to be stronger on one side of the field of view than the other if you are looking for an effect other than intense flat-field lighting. Secondary flashes can be slaved to this unit for more complicated close-up scenes, but in many cases this flash will be all you need to take properly illuminated photographs. The dashboard puts as much control in the photographer's hands as he or she may want. Completely automatic illumination, programmatically determined decrease or increase in light output, manually determined light levels -- all is possible. This is a wonderful device that will either calculate and produce solutions to your illumination problems after you have set your camera preferences, or it will grant you as much control as you desire or demand. Not all macro lighting is appropriate for all circumstances. While a ring light is a good general purpose solution, sometimes you will be so close to a subject that you need greater control of illumination direction. For that kind of photography, Canon makes the MT-24EX, another lens-mounted flash but one that puts the two light sources on short adjustable arms to either side of the lens. With this flash one can angle two different illumination sources at a close-in subject. Subtle modeling effects can be achieved with the direction and intensity of each tiny light source. The MT-24EX is more expensive than the ring light; for the most serious macro photographers the additional money may be worth it. I suspect the ring light will be sufficient for most of the macro photography I wish to do, but if I run up against limits at some point I will probably acquire the other design as well. I suspect the adjustable twin-flash unit might be a better choice for the limited purpose MP-E 65mm macro lens, which cannot be used to take pictures of objects further than a few inches away from the front of the lens. The ring light may be the better choice for Canon's longer prime lenses that include a macro function. If you plan to use either the MR-14EX or MT-24EX on Canon's superb 100mm f/2.8 macro lens, you will need a threaded adapter that permits attaching the flash to the lens. The adapter is sold separately. The dedicated 65mm macro lens needs no adapter. The front of the lens is designed with a flange to which either flash head can be directly attached by a pinch-lock mechanism. Review: A necessity for close macro work - updated 27 Jan 2011 - The Canon MR-14EX was a perfect addition to my macro photo equipment. It snaps onto my 50mm compact macro lens quickly and easily and illuminates extreme closeup subjects that a regular on-camera flash could not reach, and it saves futzing with an off-camera extension flash. My only beef is that the inside diameter of the ring is too small to fit larger diameter lenses (I often like to use my sharp Canon 24-70mm lens with macro rings for extreme macros). There is no easy way to mount the MR14EX on this lens. I have sometimes hand held it in place, but this risks wiggling the rig during exposure. The ring is specifically designed to snap onto only the 50mm and 180mm macro lenses. That said, the small ring diameter does allow you to deliver light onto smaller, closer subjects. The diverse selectable features of this flash unit allow you to tailor the results to your specific macro needs. The price tag is an eye-popper, but if macro photography is an important part of your photographic repertoire, the MR14EX will expand your creative possibilities considerably and give terrific results. UPDATE: A caution about taking macros of reflective subjects, especially with water droplets: you will see little parentheses ( ) in every droplet - reflections of the two flash tubes. I have since updated my equipment to include the Macro Twinlite (MT-24EX) and Canon's new 100mm hybrid IS Macro lens -- a dynamite combination. The ring is less complex to rig up, but the Twinlite is more versatile. Both items are pricey. The 100mm IS requires an adapter ring (another $40!)to fit either of the flash setups. ## Features - Illuminated LCD panel for easy flash settings in any setting - Supports E-TTL wireless auto flash - Twin-tube ring lite designed for close-up photography - Flash tubes can fire together or independently - Compatible with all EOS bodies ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #60 in Macro & Ringlight Flashes | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 60 Reviews | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Canon - **Compatible Mountings:** Canon - **Camera Flash:** Macro - **Flash Sync Speed:** 1/200 - **Included Components:** Soft case ## Images ![Canon MR-14EX Macro Ring Lite for Canon Digital SLR Cameras - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/611+GONELCL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Whats the biggest diameter lens this can go on?** A: The ring light attaches directly to Canon 60 and 100mm f2.8 macro lenses. I believe it can also attach to other lenses using 52, 58, 67, 72mm ring adapters. But, I have only used it on the Canon macro lenses. **Q: I have a canon rebel 18-55mm lens, will this flash fit or will i need an attachment.** A: 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 **Q: is this ring flash compatible with nikon DSLR cameras ???** A: No, it is not. Sorry **Q: will this ring flash fit on a 58 mm macro lens and if not which adapter should buy?** A: It depends on the specific lens you have. This flash attaches to a flange on the lens barrel with a pinch-lock mechanism. If your lens is designed to work with this flash, it should have the flange already. If it is not a Canon lens, you will undoubtedly need an adapter. Look at this one: Macrolite Adapter 58C for Canon G2, G3, G5, G6 & Pro1 Digital Cameras. One of the reviewers reports that he used it on a Tamron lens, so it can be used on more than just the cameras specified by Canon. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Necessary Accessory for Serious Macro Photographers *by D***N on April 4, 2013* If you are a serious close-up or macro photographer, sooner or later (but probably sooner) you will need an illumination source to make up for the falloff in light transmission that occurs with close focus at short distances.

Canon packages their macro ring lites with an EOS camera and macro lens for use by dentists for good reason: for close-up macro photography inside someone's mouth where you want to be able to either avoid or control shadowing effects, this is an indispensable flash that provides better close-up illumination than you can get with just a hot shoe flash. I am using this on an EOS 30D (updated posting: and also 40D) with their excellent Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM Lens for Canon SLR Cameras and Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5X Macro Lens for Canon SLR Cameras along with a Canon Macrolite Adapter 58C for Canon G2, G3, G5, G6 & Pro1 Digital Cameras Even though the "Canon Macrolite Adapter 58C" says that it is for G2-G6 cameras, it fits their 65mm and 100mm Macro Lens also due to its 58mm size. The flash secures onto grooves in their 100mm Macro Lens, but if you prefer to leave a UV-haze filter on that lens, the filter covers up the groove. Therefore, to not have to remove the protective UV-haze filter lens in order to attach the ring lite, you need to screw the "Canon Macrolite Adapter 58C" onto the end of the filter lens, which then provides the grooves that the ring lite then attaches to. Yes, $15 is still a bit pricey for a skinny little ring of plastic adapter, but comparable to how Canon prices their lens hoods also... and it is the only way to attach the ring lite to the macro lens while still leaving a UV-haze filter screwed on (without resorting to black duck tape :-) I use this ring lite for both indoor and outdoor nature macro photography and it is the perfect flash when the natural lighting is less than optimal. A macro ring light like this is optional equipment if you use Canon's 50mm, 60mm, 100mm, or 180mm macro lenses. But either this flash or the more expensive Canon MT-24EX Macro Twin Lite Flash for Canon Digital SLR Cameras macro flash is really absolutely required equipment if you use the Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5X Macro Lens for Canon SLR Cameras lens, especially if you do not always use a tripod. The diffuser plastic that is on this flash gives it a nice soft warm light that is not too harsh. You can adjust the "ratio" so that one of the half-circle ring's flashes are brighter than the other half-circle flash, to get better shadow contrast (when zooming the MP-E 65mm between 3X to 5X, I like to use a ratio of 3:1 or 4:1). The MT-24EX does have a distinct advantage over this MR-14EX when using Canon's MP-E 65mm at magnifications of 4X or 5X because the MT-24EX's two flash heads can be positioned and angled more directly at the subject. But I find the MT-24EX's light to be more harsh than this MR-14EX, unless you create your own diffuser setup for it. July 22 2010 update: Since my original writing of my review, I sold my Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM Lens for Canon SLR Cameras and bought the newer Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM 1-to-1 Macro Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras . In order to use this new version of Canon's 100mm macro lens with the MR-14EX, you need to also purchase the pricy Canon Macrolite Adapter 67 . ## Frequently Bought Together - Canon MR-14EX Macro Ring Lite for Canon Digital SLR Cameras - SanDisk 128GB Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-I Memory Card - C10, U3, V30, 4K UHD, SD Card - SDSDXXD-128G-GN4IN - Canon Macrolite Adapter 67 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/1144185-canon-mr-14ex-macro-ring-lite-for-canon-digital-slr](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/1144185-canon-mr-14ex-macro-ring-lite-for-canon-digital-slr) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-07-21*
