What do spider faces, Forget-Me-Nots, and pearly whites have in common? They all make excellent subjects for Godox’s new MF-R76 CNS TTL Macro Ring Flash.
When Lester A. Dine invented the ring flash, in 1952, to take photos of teeth in clinical settings, there’s no way he could have anticipated the technological advances found in flashes 70 years later.
The TTL R76 promises to bathe your tiny subjects in dispersed, dimmable light. The physical proximity of the flash to your subject also guarantees that you’ll never have to worry about obstructions, as you would when trying to photograph a small subject with an on-camera flash.
The TTL R76’s twin-tube design also allows you to adjust the power on each side of the ring independently, giving you more creative control over lighting your subjects.
Godox released three versions of this macro ring flash designed for Sony, Nikon, and Canon. Each flash comes equipped with a range of adapter rings for maximum compatibility with a vast variety of lenses. The flashes also come equipped with a long-lasting, rechargeable lithium batteries that give you .1- to 1-second recycling time.
If you’re new to flash photography and interested in photographing the minute world, then the TTL R76 might be a good place to start. The user interface is friendly and easy to use, and it comes equipped (as its name might suggest) with through-the-lens or TTL flash. In TTL flash mode, the ring flash will do all the work for you, choosing the most optimal lighting settings to achieve the best result.
If you want a little more challenge, however, the flash is also capable of manual, high-speed sync, and front/rear curtain sync modes, giving you greater artistic control over your lighting. The TTL R76 also has 2.4G wireless capability, meaning you could pair your ring light with any Godox 2.4G wireless X system lights to create your own unique lighting experience.
So, whether you’re just getting into macro photography, or you’ve been photographing with macro lenses for years, your images might benefit from the addition of a macro ring flash. The TTL R76 is easy to use, fun, and offers a variety of control modes to choose from. So why wait? It could be time to take your macro photography to miniscule dimensions.
