Product Description

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 580EX,
550EX,430EX and/or 420EX slave units. It also provides easy ratio
control of each flash heads output, over a six-stop range.

- Twin-head macro flash unit, for directional lighting in close-up photography with full E-TTL automatic flash control (including with Digital EOS SLR bodies).
