LED light for macro photography: LedGo R332
Because the energy usage of LEDs is low, with a couple of penlight batteries, you have enough power to run your alternative ring flash on location. The LedGo R332 has a list price of less than 200 euros and is an LED-light alternative for a ring flash or beauty dish. The LedGo R332 weighs 700 grams and consists of two half circles, each with 166 LEDs, for which the amount of light can be adjusted with two knobs on the back.
According to the specifications, the LedGo R332 delivers 2,450 lumen and an intensity of 4,260 lux at 1 meter distance. By varying the distance, I can quickly choose the desired ratio between artificial light and sunlight, without having to take my eye off the viewfinder. If you want to play with color temperature a lot, then the LedGo B160C offers more options, since it consists of two different kinds of LEDs, for which you can dim the light intensity independently.On the other hand, the LedGo R332 consists of twice as many LEDs, and thus gives more light.
Most ring-shaped LED panels will be attached to the camera with a ring, which screws on to the filter mount of a lens. With the short bracket, you attach the LED panel to the top of the camera.
That went well during our practice shots: a Nikon D4s with its big battery holder is much taller than a regular SLR or system camera.
LedGo LED panels have a very high, 90+ CRI color reproduction. We see that in our practice shots, and it also appears in the color measurements that we carried out previously for our review of the LedGo B160C LED panel. Different image styles and the auto white balance of a camera have a big influence on the colors of a photo.
When we review a lens on a camera with a full-format sensor, then vignetting of 1 to 2 stops at full aperture is quite common. In the picture below of a larger-than-life head, the shutter time without LED light was 1/5 second, with a 24 mm lens (ff equivalent). The image is much better, but just as with a fill-in flash at short distances, you do see a hard cast shadow. If you want to make a portrait from a bit further away than the photo below, then the LED light will benefit you by about 1 stop.
Ease of use of the LED light for macro, close up and portraits Indoors, or on cloudy days, you’ll have to choose longer shutter times on your camera, or ISO values above 1000 ISO in order to have both a short shutter time and sufficient focal depth.
If you want to take a picture at 100 ISO, with a short shutter time and a small aperture (f/16), then you’ll need a powerful flash. Because the intensity of light decreases quickly with distance, you profit most from the LedGo R332 with macro photography.
