Canon 72C - Adaptador Macrolite

Comments about Canon 72C Macrolite Adapter:

This adapter works well on the 180mm macro lens with my twin flash. Pretty idiot proof. If you do lots of macro work you probably need one on each of your different sized lenses to get the best use of the flash. Good construction.

Works to attach the Mounting Ring for the flash heads.

Comments about Canon 72C Macrolite Adapter:

I got mine from B&H about a week ago after it being out-of-stock for about 5 months (no complaints there I'm sure Japan has better things to do, recovering from its earthquake)

As noted - there's not much to this - it works fine.

HOWEVER - it is an astonishing rip-off by Canon.

I bought the 180mm f3.5 L and the Macro Twin Light MT-24 EX, so after dropping 1500 bucks on a lens and 900 on a flash they couldn't chuck in a couple of adapter rings?

If this is how Canon treat their customers - I suggest you go buy Nikon (although they probably do the same).

The recommendation below "not" to recommend to a friend is based on the hope that soon someone will start making knock-off's of this item for a tenth of the price.

not too many things to say, perfect connected with my 180L, but really expensive.

Comments about Canon 72C Macrolite Adapter:

Not much to rate here since it is a simple product that works well. It works on both the Canon 180mm and Sigma 150mm F2.8 Macro lenses.

Comments about Canon 72C Macrolite Adapter:

I use the MT-24EX Macro Twin Light Flash which directly fits the EF 50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro, EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro, and MP-E 65mm lenses and adaptors are required to work with other lenses. The adaptor screws into the lens filter threads and the allowing the flash unit to be used on a wide variety of lens choices greatly increasing the versatility of the flash. This metal adaptor is of high quality and does exactly what it is supposed to do, ie creating a secure attachment point for the macro ring. I highly recommend this product.

Adapter for Canon MT-24EX Macro Twin Lite Ringlite Flash and Canon EF 180mm f/3.5 Macro

Comments about Canon 72C Macrolite Adapter:

The adapter is necessary for 180mm macro users.

Comments about Canon 72C Macrolite Adapter:

adapts the canon mt 24 ex flash lense

Comments about Canon 72C Macrolite Adapter:

It is a bit expansive, but if you want to use the MR-14EX frash with Canon EF 180mm L or Sigma 150mm Macro lenses - must have it.

Comments about Canon 72C Macrolite Adapter:

easy to use works great does not affect image quality. what more can you ask for?

Comments about Canon 72C Macrolite Adapter:

Not much to say. Just a necessary piece to the puzzle. Works fine.

Comments about Canon 72C Macrolite Adapter:

This really adds to my arsenal of gear. With the ring the flashes are right there where the flash is needed. I have another product that has flexible arms, which makes it way to heavy and awkward. I can only use it for a little while before my arms are on fire, but with the ring it is only the ring weight.
The ring also always me to use it on other lenses for portrait shot.
In short a great little adapter to have.

TT

I need an adapter for my macro ring flash. Works like a charm.

Comments about Canon 72C Macrolite Adapter:

Absolutely needed to work with Canon 180lens - not esily identified as being needed and at price of twin-lite and lens should be an included item

Comments about Canon 72C Macrolite Adapter:

A bit pricey, but if you want to use teh MR-14EX on lenses other than the 100mm F2.8 Macro, you need it.
