YONGNUO YN14EX II Macro Ring Flash for Canon DSLR Cameras, with Adapter Rings and Color Temperature Filters, Hot Shoe Mount, Support M, TTL Flash Review

As a professional photographer, one of the most important accessories that I use with my camera is a good flash. In particular, I need a ring flash that can light up my subject evenly and provide me with the right amount of illumination that I need. Recently, I had the opportunity to use the YONGNUO YN14EX II Macro Ring Flash for Canon DSLR Cameras, and I must admit that I was very impressed with its performance.

The YONGNUO YN14EX II Macro Ring Flash is a ring type double lamp macro flash that is designed to provide photographers with a lightweight and easy-to-use flash that is versatile enough to be used for macro photography as well as portrait photography. The flash has a high GN of 18 and supports M, TTL flash ratio setting, which allows photographers to adjust the flash ratio of flash tube A and B or make only one flash tube flash to produce shadow on the subject. This flexibility enables the photographer to take photos that reach a sculptural effect.

One of the things that I liked about the YONGNUO YN14EX II Macro Ring Flash is that it has a wide range of use. It is perfect for taking photos of plants, insects, jewelry, and even the oral cavity. This is because the two light heads on the flash provide a flexible and versatile fill-light that eliminates the fear of vignetting and shadows.

Another great feature of the YONGNUO YN14EX II Macro Ring Flash is its high-speed charging recycle system. The recycle time of full output is only 3 seconds, which means you can get a high-speed recycling experience within 4-5 seconds, even when you are not using brand new batteries. This is particularly useful when you are in a hurry and want to take the perfect shot.

The YONGNUO YN14EX II Macro Ring Flash also supports lenses of multiple filter sizes and CT filters. It comes equipped with adapter rings of 52mm, 58mm, 67mm, and 72mm. Additionally, it is equipped with four kinds of color temperature filters: white, red, fluorescent green, and warm yellow. The magnetic drawing method for filters is easy to use and allows the photographer to quickly and easily adjust the light to the desired temperature and intensity.

In terms of additional functions, the YONGNUO YN14EX II Macro Ring Flash has a lot to offer. It has exposure compensation, FEB, rear-curtain sync, FE lock, Fn custom settings, menu access for Canon camera, a large-size LCD display, an LED AF assist lamp, and is equipped with a standard 2.5mm PC synchronous interface. The sound prompt system and auto-save setting make the YONGNUO YN14EX II Macro Ring Flash even more user-friendly, and the external power socket allows photographers to use external power when they need it.

In conclusion, the YONGNUO YN14EX II Macro Ring Flash is a great tool for photographers looking for a flexible, versatile, and easy-to-use flash that is perfect for both macro and portrait photography. With its wide range of features and functions, this flash is sure to help photographers take their photography to the next level.
