MT-24EX Macro Twin Lite
flash unit |
|
|
The
new Canon Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX is the
most advanced flash unit for macrophotography
available in any SLR system. This new Macro
Twin Lite provides an incredible flexibility
by incorporating twin flash heads with adjustable
positions for a variety of lighting setups
and advanced E-TTL autoflash capabilities
(with EOS-1V,
EOS-3, EOS-D30, EOS-D60, EOS-1D),
and supports TTL auto flash plus manual
flash exposure control on all the Canon
EOS system cameras.
Each
individual flash head can be rotated both
vertically and horizontally or completely
removed from the mounting ring and mounted
on a tripod or light stand. The flash heads
can be fired together or individually, providing
even greater lighting flexibility. In addition,
the mounting ring itself can be rotated.
Supplying
a powerful maximum Guide Number of 78/22
(ISO 100/ft/m.), the new Macro Twin Lite
supports a number of advanced flash metering
and customization features, including spot
Flash Exposure Lock (FE-L) and bracketing,
FP Flash (high-speed synchronization to
the camera's maximum shutter speed), variable
power manual flash, wireless remote functions
(with an unlimited number of 550EX or 420EX
Speedlite flash units).
The
new MT-24EX is also equipped with twin focusing
lamps and a set of 9 Custom Functions that
allow the user to modify flash operation
for specific shooting conditions. The Macro
Twin Lite MT-24EX uses 4 AA-size alkaline,
lithium, Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries and is
compatible with Canon's auxiliary power
packs, Compact Battery Pack CP-E2 and Transistor
Pack E for faster recycling and a greater
number of flashes per charge for extended
shooting sessions.

Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX
& EF
100/2.8 Macro USM |
| The
new Canon Macro Ring MR-1EX is the most
advanced and the most versatile ring flash
for macrophotography. The MR-1EX offers
the full control of the light: the two
flash bulbs are independent and the relative
powers can be setted from 8:1 to 1:1 or
from 1:1 to 1:8, for a maximum control
of the shadows. The exposure is E-TTL
(like in the torch flash 550EX). The flash
can be used with E-TTL full control without
cables, with a virtually infinite number
of 550EX flash units arranged around the
subject, for a truly optimal control of
the light. The light control is previewed
in real time on the LCD
panel of the MR-1EX. The Guide
Number is 14 (@ 100 ISO) and the minimal
operative distance is hardly 2cm. More:
exposure lock (FEL) with the semispot
and spot exposure modes also on decentralized
particulars, high synchronization speed
(up to the shorter supported shutter speed),
manual flash with variable power (decreasing
power down to 1/64), exposure compensation
in a range of +/- 3 stops. The MR-1EX
flash is compatible with all EOS cameras
and also with the Canon
T90, even if it has been projected
in particular for the EOS-3 and the EOS-1V
(with which E-TTL functions are available).
Among the accessories, the remote power
source CP-E2, furnishing a strong decrease
in recharging times and increasing the
autonomy of the flash.
To
complete of the rich EF Canon macro system,
the new and sharp EF 100/2.8 USM Macro
lens has arrived. The lens has been completely
redesigned, so as to add the speed of
the ultrasonic focusing (full-time manually
assisted), the inner
focusing (without any movement
of the frontal element and without any
increment of the lens length) and to improve
the optical quality regarding the previous
100/2,8. The inner focusing system has
allowed to maintain its dramatic sharpness
from the center to the edges of the photogram,
for all the shooting distances.

Lens
construction: 12 elements in 8 groups
Minimum Aperture: f/32
Minimum Focusing Distance: 15cm (from
the frontal element)
Maximum Magnification: 1x
Filter Diameter: 58mm
Weight: 600g |

| Canon
EF Macro Photo 65mm f/2.8 1~5x |
  |
| Special
lens especially destined to macrophotography
(it doesn't focus to infinite). The magnification
is zoomable and ranges from 1:1 (1x,
natural dimensions) to 5:1 (5x, 5
times the natural dimensions) by turning
the focusing ring and increasing the extension.
High mechanical rigidity and complex optical
scheme: 10 elements in 8 groups, one low
dispersion / high refraction lens, in order
to obtain a high chromatic correction. The
front lenses present a multilayered treatment,
in order to reduce the parasite lights,
and the internal mechanics are covered by
an absorbent paint. The quality is assured
from the center to the borders of the photogram.
The view through the lens is clear and contrasted,
thanks to the f/2.8 maximum aperture.
Aperture
range : F2.8-F16. The lens doesn't close
beyond f/16 because of the succession of
the diffraction. In case of 5x magnification
is not advisable to go beyond f/11.
Focusing:
manual.
Focusing distances: 10cm for 1:1, 4cm for
5:1.
Range field: 24x36mm for 1:1, 5x7mm for
5:1.
Advised operativity: tripod (the lens is
equipped with a tripod ring) and flash ring. |

| Reverse
adapter Novoflex/Canon EOS |
| 
|
The
adapter opens the world of extreme close-up
photography to users of Canon EOS cameras
with wide angle or zoom lenses. The lens
is mounted on the adapter in reverse position,
ensuring outstanding quality of the resulting
photographs. The adapter transmits all the
lens information to the camera body. Using
a Canon EOS zoom lens with a focal length
of 28-105 in reverse position, the adapter
allows the user to take photographs with
magnification ratios of 1:7 at the 105mm
end to 2.8:1 at the 28mm setting. No prime
macro lens is capable of matching this range
(except the specialistic Canon MP 65/2.8
1~5x). The adapter is supplied with 58mm
treads, but adapter rings for lenses with
other filter thread sizes are available.
