Ring Flash for macro photography


Recommended Posts

Hello !

 

I'm a beginner in photography and I recently bought the sony alpha 7ii to make movies and photos. I would like to use my device with a ring flash (to make dental photos) that I bought (Metz 15ms-1). I was wondering if it was possible to make it work with this in manual mode ? Or do you know other ring flahs that can suits for this purpose ?

Hi Wistoul

 

The MS-1 works well with the alpha 7 series. I use it with a cheap Sony HVL-F20M as master. The Sony flash is mounted on camera and the black IR transparent "clothes peg" is taped to the flash head. Don't rely on the spring of the "+clothes peg" - it will drop off. After that simply select Sony Remote on the MS-1. You might need to do some firmware updates on the Metz .... it did not work properly a couple of years ago ... the latest firmware is fine.
