Mcoplus - MCO-14EXT Macro TTL ring flash for NIKON i-TTL with LED AF assist lamp

I have been using a ring flash for macro photography for a couple of years now but was forced to look for a new one as the one already owned did not have an attachment for my new 150mm Sigma macro lens. I am so glad I made this purchase, my other ring flash was mostly used with my Tamron SP 90mm macro lens (a great lens) and I have taken many good pictures with it but it only when I compare the pictures taken with my old ring flash to this one that I see just how much of a difference it makes. The difference is stunning. I have taken a number of test shots with the original setup (Nikon D7000, Tamron 90mm lens) to compare the difference this ring flash makes and I am very surprised and pleased at by the results. My old ring flash was the Marumi DRF14, it cost more and is in my opinion does not come close to the performance of this flash. One very small niggle with this one, be prepared to go through quite a few batteries (or buy rechargeables) with this flash.All in all a great piece of kit and well worth the price paid on Amazon, buy it.

Have just received the flash and must say my initial reactions are very favourable. It seems fairly robust and well made and easy to adjust. For me its big selling point is the TTL capability. I did look at the equivalent Nikon flash but for something which I will only use occasionally I could not justify the cost. In fact I am baffled as to why dedicated Nikon flashes are so expensive. This flash will do all I want at a fraction of the cost.The only criticism I would have is with the manual. While most of the flash's functions are fairly intuitive the manual is dreadful and much of it does not make any sense at all. Whoever translated the Chinese version has a very limited and idiosyncratic grasp of the English language. I don't know how much it would have cost to have an English speaker write the manual but it would have been money well spent. A manual as bad as this just gives a bad impression of a very well designed and made piece of equipment.

Excellent ring flash, It is made of plastic but its well built,I use this for macro photography onlyIt has TTL and manual mode.In TTL mode it over exposes a little so you have to choke it down a bit which is easy to do.I read on the product details (not Mcoplus description) that this had a Max Sync Speed:1/320sthis is not true it only has a sync speed of 1/200s which I was disappointed about, hence only the 4 points.Arrived within 2 days.Good service, good product and good pricewould recommend

For the price, I reckon you will struggle to get a better ringlight. I am using this on my Nkion D810 and it is fab.I can't get it to TTL meter very well, at all in fact, but to be honest, I'm not at all bothered by this. I use it in manual mode anyway and I am getting great results.The build quality seem really good (again, considering the price point) and the charge time is very quick. It was very easy to figure out how to use the unit without resorting to the manual and you get a range of adapters to cover any lens size (at least that I own).

It does what it should BUT it is a Mieke product with Mcplus and Skyblue labels stuck onto the bottom of the box. Why is important? Because the Mieke product is also available from Amazon but listed as Mieke, and at a lower price than Mcoplus/Skyblue item. As mentioned, it does what it should and feels well made, but I suggest you look at all the products available in this category before purchasing.

Excellent value, works well. for the price I cant fault it, I also have a Nissin MF18, baught this while the Nissin is repaired, will buy the MK-14EX again at this price. Benefits from a diffuser, use diffusing gel to create some light spread and create a nice highlight when used for portraits (the same goes for the Nissin), it defuses the tubes which are clearly seen in the exyes.

This is an amazing piece of kit that has helped me improve my Macro photographer no ends. The flash itself is a little to bright at times but as soon as I workout how to step down the flash brightness its an essential piece of my kit. Sturdy and very well made, cant really find any faults with it.

I had some specific delivery requirements. The guys went out of their way to help, even though out was out of the country at the time.The product is excellent and I agree with some of the other reviews, it just needs to be stopped down a bit
