Adapter is needed for the Canon 100mm L IS lens with the Canon MT-24EX Macro Twin Lite Flash

[Mary Anne]

If you have the Canon 100mm Macro L IS Lens then you do need to buy the Canon 67C Macrolite Adapter when using the Canon MT-24EX Macro Twin Lite Flash, it seems that flash was made for a 58mm thread, and of course because its a L series lens that adapter is the dearest of the lot..

I also have a Tamron 90mm macro lens and if I want to use that Canon flash I was told all I need to get is a step-up ring 55-67mm probably got one anyway.. I ended up ringing the place where I buy a lot of my lenses from to find out this information as its nowhere on the Canon websites.

I ordered one yesterday and its on its way through one of the US sponsors here on the site I am lucky they have that adapter size as they are very scare in Australia there could even be none here due to that terrible earthquake in Japan recently..

Does this mean that the bugs in your garden will not even be safe at NIGHT ? :eek:

I like that :laughing1: It has to get here first :D No I dont do any night time photography now its too cold.
I will be feeling sorry for the bugs in the daylight hours though, after I learn to use it..
