Macro photography has never had a creative lighting tool with such mastery as the Flashpoint MF-12 Macro Flash. The flexible design of the flash encourages discovery in the world of close-ups, enhancing the photographer's craft with R2 hands-free convenience for animals and plants, food, jewelry, as well as dental and medical images. MF-12 is the next level in macro photography lighting. The groundbreaking design offers 3-dimensional lighting effects not possible with the traditional ring flash. While flat, even illumination is terrific for detail, surrounding the subject with customized ratioed flash produces breathtaking images worthy of the wonder of macro vision.
Makes the smallest of subjects come to life. Tactile, true-to-life, tangible. The Macro Flash system is made of three essential elements: The MF-12 Flash Head with two flash modes, R2 TTL wireless automatic flash, and manual flash; the MF-AR Adapter Ring that the MF-12 fastens on to; and an R2 Transmitter on the camera. All of the R2 Family transmitters speak to the flash, with the complete magic commands built-in. Through R2 wireless technology, main brand cameras such as Nikon, Sony, Canon, Fujifilm, Olympus, Pentax, and Panasonic, provide TTL accuracy. The photographer can command up to six flash heads installed on the MF-AR adapter ring to complete a circle of shadow-free light. Shape the output to reveal depth or place fewer heads on the ring to create dramatic facet effects. Track and focus all of the flashes with constant LED modeling. In darkness, the soft glow from the aid of the lamp capture shy and private creatures. The MF-12 flash heads also perform individually on their own using miniature stands. The tiny heads allow for table-top precise placement up close, for exquisite detail lighting with R2 control only small can provide. The possibilities are endless and the expression boundless.
The MF-12 can also be set independent of the R2 system. Direct input of power settings, sync, and optical sensors for S1 cell triggering or S2 TTL Anti-Preflash triggers; are all part of the exciting instrument. Your selection is displayed vividly on each flash's OLED window. Enhanced modifiers such as color filters, diffusion domes, and lens diameters from 49-77mm adaptation are part of the MF-12 Macro Flash Kit accessories. The system uses built-in lithium batteries, rechargeable through a popular USB type-C port, providing up to 500 shots at full power. Reducing the power gains even faster recycling, down to 0.01 from the 1.7 -second max, is valuable in capturing an insect's fleeting flight or rapid fire capture. Flash duration is always an advantage to freezing time, and the 1/34, 000s minimum stumps the most rapid wing beat. Construct your own unique path to discovering the mystery of hidden wonders with the most flexible lighting even created for macro photography, the Flashpoint MF-12 Flash.
