The new Macro Twin Lite gives serious close-up, nature, and macro enthusiasts a different option in macro lighting - a directional quality of light, as opposed to the rather Flat character of the traditional ring lite. Two separate flash heads can be swiveled around the lens, can be aimed separately, and even removed from their holder and mounted off-camera. Like the MR-14EX, the new Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX is fully E-TTL compatible with all EOS bodies, including digital SLRs, and even allows Wireless E-TTL flash control with one or more 550EX and/or 420EX slave units. It also provides easy ratio control of each flash head?s output, over a six-stop range.

  • Attaches to all Canon EF macro lenses (EF 180mm f/3.5L requires Macro Lite Adapter 72C).
  • Twin flash heads can be rotated over 80-degrees angle around lens in 5 degree increments.
  • Heads can be swiveled or bounced and can be removed from mounting ring for added control.
  • Powerful Guide Number of 78 (feet, @ ISO 100), full E-TTL control and E-TTL features including FEL, Hi-speed sync, and FEB.
  • Full E-TTL automatic flash control with compatible EOS bodies, including EOS-1D, D60, and D30 digital SLRs.
  • Incandescent focusing lamps, and two different types of 1-second modeling flash allow easy focusing and previewing of lighting effects.

The perfect macro flash for EOS system

"The MT-24 EX Macro Twin Lite is the cream on top of the macro photography gear. Not just because its a macro flash, but because of its superb integration into the EOS flash system. Using it stand alone enables you to do well exposed and nice lit macro shots with the same kind of operation you may know from the bigger Canon Speedlites. The two flash heads can be moved into different positions and angles and togeh..." Read Full Review »

"I own a MR-14EX flash, but wanted more flexibility with my macro and close-up photography. This flash provides that and more.



The ability to individually position each flash head is a big advantage. It is also possible to add StoFen diffusers or Gary Fong's Puffers to soften the light, since t …"  Read Full Review »
