Comments about Canon 58C Macrolite Adapter:

If you don't have the adapter then you will be unable to attach the ring light

This adapter allows me to use the MR-14EX macro ringlight on my 50mm f/1.4 lens. although the MR-14EX states that filters cannot be used in conjunction with the device, I find that by using a threaded filter, I can fit this adapter and still have the added protection and functionality of UV and Polarizing filters. all metal construction.

This works well for what it is made for. It won't take too much to over tighten it onto a filter. It is a bear to separate the two if you are not careful. Pretty idiot proof (unless you over tighten it). Does what it is supposed to. Not too expensive compared to other sizes.

It's necessary to use with the Macroflash MT-24EX.
It holds the flash very well.

Comments about Canon 58C Macrolite Adapter:

- Simple to use (after all , it is just a metal ring)

- High quality

- The only quality/official way to attach a macro ring flash (Canon MR-14EX), to a Canon macro lens (in my case 100mm, 2.8, USM) AND still protect the lens with a UV filter.

- The construction goes like that (in my case): Camera + Extension Tube + Lens + UV filter + Macrolite adapter 58C + MR-14EX.

Kinda pricey for what you get but it works like a charm on my 50mm 1.4f lens with the Macrolite now firmly attached - all mounted on my 5d Mk II.

The 58C Macrolite adapter is, quite simply, a 58mm diameter threaded ring of metal. Solely intended for mounting Canon ring flashes to lenses with 58mm filter barrels -- including macro lenses with filters attached -- it does exactly that.

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.

This adapte does what it is supposed to. Bought to use the Canon flash ring with the 100mm macro lens. When it arrived i found out that it was not necessary, the flash attaches direct onto the lens. So double check if you really need it before you purchase.

Comments about Canon 58C Macrolite Adapter:

Reviews showed that the Canon Macro Ring Light was the best choice for Macro photography. The Macro lens that I have could only use the same vendor's Ring Light. I found out from the Photography store that I frequent, that there was an adapter available. I found it on line and I am so glad that I didn't just purchase the "other" ring light.

It works well for adapting flash to other lenses

Canon's macrolite adapter connects perfectly to camera or lens adapter rings and securely holds their ring light preventing rotary slippage. It is an essential part of a well crafted system for near point photography.
