The ring flash can be powered by 4x AA batteries or an optional CP-E4 battery pack.

Canon MR-14EX Reviews

Best macro flash

By Don
Rated 3 out of 5
Date: 2023-07-17

I had to buy another one as the first unit has been in the shop several times. I needed a back up when I am in the field. I tried other brands and they don't do as good a job when the MR-14ex II is working.

Great technology. Many settings to learn to use

Right out of the box (settings on automatic) I got wonderful exposures doing macro. I would have preferred a longer coiled wire for more reach when using an extension bellows.

See any errors on this page?

question

I want to shoot portraits with this. Is it large enough to use the Sigma Art 35mm 1.4 lens? Or the Sigma 50 1.4 Art lens?
Asked by: Mark T.
There is a major compatibility issue with almost ANY lens here. Though it is a great flash, Canon designed it with a major shortcoming, the filter thread for attaching to the lens is only at 67mm. You're pretty much restricted to the macro lenses. I learned this the hard way, after I bought it. It won't even work with the Canon 24-70 lens or the Canon 24-105 lens. I find this really stupid from Canon. The Sigma EM-140 DG Macro Ringlight Flash for Canon will at least go to 77mm, and will work with the Sigma lens you referenced as it has a 77mm filter thread.

Is this light soft or do I need to add some type of modifier?
Asked by: Philip
The simple answer is NO. This light does not provide a soft light. However, I think with some ingenuity you could soften the light, say white cloth or tissue between the source and subject. Hope this helps
