The kit can easily support a variety of scenarios, depending on the number of flashes and how they are placed. The whole point of the design is to mount the flash closer to the front of the lens to get light onto macro subjects. Whether to fine-tune the light effect or to create another light style, MF12 will help to experiment effortlessly until reaching the best effect you need. I don’t have lab testing equipment so I can’t confirm the flash recycling time, but I can say it’s fast enough to fire continuously in burst mode when using lower power ratios.

As a studio macro photographer, a new subcompact macro flash holds so much potential that I just had to find a way to review this product. GODOX has teamed up in collaboration with Sony Europe , to bring you the GODOX MF12-DK1 Dental Flash Kit, and the XProIIS+ Trigger which has been specially engineered for dental photography. I liked the fact that they also have a built-in modeling light, which further extends the usefulness of the units when working in a very dim environment.

The Lens Mounting Ring comes with a set of Filter Thread adapter rings, with filter thread sizes of 49mm, 52mm, 55mm, 58mm, 62mm, 67mm, 72mm, and 77mm, making it compatible with most lenses. It is mostly either the twin flash, a ring flash or the classic on/off camera speedlite with additional diffuser. GHz wireless technology enables long-distance transmission, adding more flexibility to your shooting. Flexibility Helps PerfectionFeaturing precise control, the multi-flash solution is available to work as a ring flash but far more than that.

Unlike traditional Macro Ring flashes, which pretty much limit you to on-axis lighting, the Macro MF12 features a built-in wireless 2. The dedicated XproIIS+ is specially designed for dental photography and exclusively compatible with Sony cameras and lens. Its compact size results in “invisibility”, lighting up the object while hiding itself away easily from the frame. Wireless technology that allows for long-distance transmission to give you even greater control over your photography.

That helps with lighting ratios and to not get that ring-light look despite it not being all that apparent with this flash. I am equally confident that Godox had done the math and calculated the relative benefit of sending dozens, more likely hundreds of flashes to famous landscape and sports and street photographers, in the hopes that just one of them would say something about it.

MF12 kit is perfect for micro lighting, which enables you to shoot beautiful and sharp photos of small subject, like rings, watches, plants, animals, insects in extremely close distance. When the units arrived after a long delay, I had a few moment of angst when I realized these flashes do not have a replaceable battery. The transmitter has a built-in system supporting the camera's automatic focusing, which facilitates work both in the studio. I know a lot of photographers who own MF12s but as far as I know no one actually uses them mounted on a lens, and no one uses them for macro photography in the field. There is a ring mounting kit available, of you can put them on either their traditional flash “feet” (see below) or even mount them on light stands with the included adapter.

I've been doing some looking around and the X Pro II and X2T look like what I need, but which one would be the best choice for these flashes? It works good individually but also can serve a multi-flash solution when several units attach to the mounting ring forming ring flash effect or more other flexible light effects as you wish.

Most probably I will get at least one more unit and the multi-unit ring for full flexibility in the future.

Add to this the challenge that sometimes your equipment gets so close to the subject that it actually shadows it, effectively removing even more light. I had been shooting bees in the studio and had stacked more than a dozen respectable stacks and had one light set to 1/8 power, one to 1/16, and two at 1/32.
