The Cameta Cobra Macroflash Automatic Ring Light is a convenient and creative lighting solution for medical, dental, flower, insect, jewelry, and other small subject close-up photography where built-in and conventional flash units are difficult or impossible to use at such short working distances. Utilizing a circular electronic flash tube design that encompasses your lens provides shadow-free, even illumination on your subject. An added benefit of employing electronic flash technology rather than a continuous light source is that it will freeze action, so that a lively butterfly or flower waving in the breeze can be photographed as if they were posing for your picture. Unlike other ring lights that require a bulky and heavy power supply to be mounted to your camera's hot shoe, the Macroflash is self-contained and economically and efficiently powered by only two AA-size Alkaline, NiCad or NiMH rechargeable batteries. You don't even have to remember to turn the flash off as it incorporates "Auto-Off" circuitry to prolong battery life. This versatile Ring Light Flash can mount to almost any Digital or Film SLR lens using the supplied 52mm, 55mm, and 58mm adapter rings ? or if necessary, with other optionally available adapter rings. Optimized to prevent vignetting with most lenses having a filter size of 58mm or smaller, these optional Series 7 adapter rings are available in sizes from 43mm through 77mm. A coiled PC cord and Hotshoe-to-PC adapter are also supplied enabling the Macroflash to be used with almost any Digital or Film SLR Camera with a standard hotshoe or PC socket. [Note: Minolta Maxxum/Sony Alpha Cameras have a proprietary hot shoe that requires a separately available SC-5 shoe adapter that converts it to a Standard Hot Shoe plus a PC connection.]
