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


Features:

Attaches to all Canon EF macro lenses (EF 180mm f/3.5L requires Macro
Lite Adapter 72C).

Twin flash heads can be rotated over 80¦ angle around lens in 5 degree
increments.

Heads can be swiveled or bounced and can be removed from mounting ring
for added control.

Powerful Guide Number of 78 (feet, @ ISO 100), full E-TTL control and E-
TTL features including FEL, Hi-speed sync, and FEB.

Full E-TTL automatic flash control with compatible EOS bodies, including
EOS-1D, D60, and D30 digital SLRs. Incandescent focusing lamps, and two
different types of 1-second modeling flash allow easy focusing and previewing of
lighting effects.
