p.1 #4 · p.1 #4 · Canon 1200D And New Macro Ring Light Announced | |
The whole macro light arrangement is not as good as the old OM system, which let you plug in either twin lights or a ring light to the same controller.
I have the Canon twin light, which is almost identical to the old ring light, and the two things that make it not modern is the lack of weather sealing and the audible whine. Here's Canon's description of the new ring light:

They claim shorter recycling times, but don't mention weathersealing.
There is a valid use for a macro light as a master, so that you can trigger a light for the background.
