I've bought several cheap ring flashes in the past. Never satisfied with them. This ring flash is fantastic and at a reasonable price. Seems to be solidly built. The i-ttl works great on my Nikon D750. Instruction manual is much to be desired, but anyone with a little smarts can figure out how to operate it.

Great product at a very affordable price. First one arrived with a battery spring issue but the seller quickly sent me another one which works great. Hats off to the seller for doing this so promptly.

Needed a flash unit to use for dental photography. I've read some reviews, that other buyers used it for this purpose and gave it a try. It works just fine.Also, I had some questions and product support was very helpful to answer them.Perfect flash unit for the price.

This ring flash is pretty easy to use. The controls are fairly straightforward which is just as well as the instructions are terrible. The two preview lamps are brilliant and really helpful. The flash at full power is perhaps a little over the top at close settings and can be very bright. But once power was set at a lower setting the quality was beautiful. Soft enough yet bright enough. As an experiment I set it all to fully automated and the camera to P mode. The exposures were pretty much perfect. I’m quite impressed. For the money it can’t be beat I reckon.The manual says the overall weight is 465g but it’s quite well balanced despite the clumsy looking hot shoe unit. I didn’t notice any weight issues nor any imbalance. The main ergonomic issue is that the very thick connection cable has to stretch underneath the lens which is a little annoying but that’s easy to remedy. Just turn the ring unit so that top is bottom. You just have to remember that left flash becomes right flash.The system works well and is logical. It’s easy to fine tune exposure too as it has lots of flexibility.The light is hard at full power on the Sigma Art 50mm but when it was at 1/32 and 1/16 it was really nice. My tests have been limited so far but really promising.

This flash has a ton of useful bells and whistles. Though I haven't had much opportunity to put this flash through it's paces, I can tell you that it functions as described. I haven't noticed any significant problem with the model light in catch lighting applications, especially if the subject or photographer changes their position to get the desired effect. Though the model light can be shut off, I find it handy to guide or suggest composition.The swivel head allows for cord desired placement and to assist with off camera shooting. Included multiple threaded lens rings allows photographers to use a variety of lens. Flash settings, various lens, model light on or off, off camera ability, and a bunch of other features, all combine to provide a wide range of possibilities and creative uses to the photographer, that far exceed the usual macro ring flash. *Please note, a lot of functions can only be used in combinations of buttons, or multi-functions found in a single button. Read your manual to get the most out of this very versatile flash.

Excellent product, ideal for macro photography. Works perfectly on a Nikon D5300 with 85mm macro lens. Nice case too.

This KF-150 TTL Macro Flash works on all my Nikon film (Nikon F5, Nikon F6) and digital (Nikon D3, Nikon D5) cameras in TTL mode. For the Nikon F5, the red flash indicator does not light up in the viewfinder but when the shutter is clicked, the KF-150 macro ring flash works. On the Nikon F6, D3 and D5, the red flash icon lights up. I was really surprised that this flash would work on my Nikon F5! Attached are 2 sample images of the macro ring flash lighting up upon releasing the shutter of my Nikon D3 and D5 cameras. Sorry, I can't have images taken from my Nikon F5 and F6 film cameras.

Works like a charm with my Nikon D750+Tokina 100mm! A must have for shooting macro. Well-built and super intuitive menu system.
