Macro Ring
ML-2

The Macro Ring Lite ML-2
is an automatic flash unit for close-up shooting. Since it adopts the TTL control
system considered the most effective method for close-up shooting, there is no need
of troublesome exposure compensations. Separate flash tubes are arranged on the right
and left sides, which can be fired together or independently for extra lighting versatility.
The guide number is 11 (ISO 100.m).

Lens Hood
 |
We strongly recommend the
use of a lens hood to keep out side light which may cause flare and ghost images
to form on the image. Rigid Canon hoods also help to protect the lens from shock.
Use only a hood which is specified for your particular lens. Most Canon hoods fit
into the bayonet mount and are fixed by turning. For details please see the lens
instruction manual.
