"I used a Canon 30d with a 100mm macro lens. I bought this product so that I could vary the “f” stop on macro photography with aperture priority. I wanted to the camera to be hand held and I wanted depth of field. When I first put the flash on, no matter what I did with the f stop, the camera varied …"  Read Full Review »

"I recently purchased the MT 24EX and am enjoying it very much. It's versatility in the movement of the flashes around the Canon 100 mm macro lens is exceptional. It takes a little getting used to.
