As can be seen from the photograph, the LED ring component attaches from the front of the camera lens using one of six possible adapters (thread sizes 49mm/52mm/55mm/58mm/62mm/67mm). Power is either from 4x AA batteries in a pack which attaches to the camera base via a standard tripod screw thread, or from a 240v mains A/C adapter.
From these figures you can see that if you tend to use tiny apertures (eg f/64) and fast shutter speeds (eg 1/200 sec) at the same time, then this light probably isn’t sufficiently powerful on its own, unless you are willing to raise ISO and work very close to the subject.
My take away from the test shots is that this product provides a great general purpose light source for macro work.
Review – JJC 60 led macro ring light
I am no longer afraid of the dark.Wild sun orchids at night.Also check out the weird reflections in water droplets on new jelly fern…with and without ring lightI’ll have to watch out for that. Nice.And my last pic of the morning, a simple brown mushroom, which is really what I bought the light for in the first place.A focus stacked series of shots at 1/800s.
