Canon MR-14EX II Macro Ring Lite

The Canon 9389B002 is a macro ring flash built for photographers who want smooth, wrap-around lighting at very close working distances. It attaches to the front of a compatible Canon macro lens and bathes small subjects in a balanced light that minimizes harsh shadows, making it ideal for flowers, insects, jewelry, or any scene where fine detail matters.

The ring houses two separate flash tubes. You can fire them together for an even, shadow-free look, or trigger each one independently to shape light and add depth. With a guide number of 14 meters at ISO 100 for each tube, the unit supplies enough power for high-magnification work while keeping exposures under control. A recycle time between 0.1 and 5.5 seconds lets you keep shooting as quickly as your subject or schedule demands.

Compatibility is simple: adapter rings let the flash mount on several Canon macro lenses, and the unit can act as a wireless master for other Speedlite flashes that use E-TTL, including the Speedlite 600EX-RT, at distances up to 5 meters. This flexibility means you can build multi-light setups in the studio or in the field without adding extra cables.

For situations where light is low, built-in white LED lamps serve as both focus assist and modeling lights, giving you a live preview of how shadows will fall before you press the shutter. All settings are adjusted through a clear LCD screen that remains easy to read in bright daylight or at night.

The flash runs on four AA batteries and also accepts an optional external battery pack for extended sessions. Its compact form fits easily into a small camera bag, making it a practical choice for nature shooters, product photographers, and anyone who needs dependable macro lighting on location.
