Canon MR-14EX II Macro Ring Lite Flash

[Loswr]

Whilst RT master capability for this should be built in, in reality I'm not sure whether it offers a huge advantage over optical master in the case of macro work. I would have thought...?

Rarely, but it happens. Shooting water drops with a slave flash behind foam core, I've had to use mirrors to get the slave to fire as not enough light from the twin flash bounced in the right direction.

Moreover, there's the future. I wouldn't expect macro flash updates all that frequently, but smaller flashes get updated more often. As the RT system gains prevalence, Canon may release small slave-only units (270/430) with only radio and no optical triggering mode.

If Yongnuo comes up with a similar one which speaks Canon RT then I'd get one. Otherwise no; I have no wish to screw around with optical triggering.

B&H says it's in stock now.
If I order it from them, including customs it'll be even cheaper than getting one in England.
