Product details

Nissin introduces the MF18 ring flash, an exciting tool for Sony photographers and macro photography enthusiasts. The MF18 comes up with a variety of professional features and is compatible with lenses
of up to 82 mm diameter. For this purpose, the matching adapters in the sizes 52 mm to 77 mm are included in the delivery. With its round flash tube and the LED modelling lamps, extraordinary flash effects as well as continuous light are possible.For portraits and macro photographyRing flashes are usually designed for two purposes: for portrait and for macro photography. Because the light source runs around the lens, the light distribution is absolutely even and harmonious. The Nissin MF18 with metal flash shoe is considered a specialist for macro photography and, due to the spatial expansion of the light, produces a soft flash compared to normal clip-on flashes, whose illumination appears extremely balanced. A slight shading of the illuminated surface in the entrance area of the flash ensures an even light dispersion over the entire surface of the ring flash attachment, which makes the MF18 a recommendable tool in the field of macro photography.Anyone who has ever ventured into this "cosmos" with their macro lens will have quickly discovered that the illumination of very small objects and living creatures is not easy. The light of the surroundings is usually not sufficient to use small apertures. But these are necessary to obtain a sufficient depth of field at this extreme close range. And what does the smart photographer do in this case? He uses a flash. However, the built-in flash or even a clip-on flash is often covered by the lens, so that no light reaches the subject. Even if the subject is reached by the flash light, unsightly shadows often result from the one-sided illumination. The Nissin MF18 ring flash provides a remedy here. It has a circular flash tube that encloses the front lens of the lens used. This makes it possible to illuminate even the smallest objects with almost shadow-free, very soft lighting without any problems.Medical and industrial applicationsBut there are also more and more applications for ring flashes to the left and right of classic photography. Especially in the medical field, their use is widespread when it comes to detailed and high-resolution images in the fields of dentistry and plastic surgery. Dental medicine serves as an example: the patient is sitting in the treatment chair and the current status of the teeth is to be documented photographically. Now everything should be quick and uncomplicated, but the photographs still have to be perfect. After all, doctors are not trained photographers. Since the Nissin MF18 can be easily and effectively set up to the practice lighting conditions via "MyTTL", these settings are then always available to the photographer as standard settings, after all, the lighting conditions within the practice do not usually change.Flash and continuous lightIn the practice, impressive macro shots can be created with the Nissin MF18 macro ring flash. The control unit is quickly attached to the hot shoe of the camera body and can be fixed with the thumbscrew. It is attached to the lens by means of an adapter ring, which is rotatably connected to the flash unit. After switching on, the flash is ready for use with fresh NiMH batteries after approx. 7 seconds.The Nissin MF18 has a guide number of 16 (ISO 100), which is ideal for close-up shots even with the smallest apertures. The two individually controllable flash tubes, as well as the four built-in LED modelling lights ensure the best possible illumination of the macro scene at all times.
