Can I use a ring adapter to mount this on an 86mm lens? Is the LED ring too heavy to be mounted this way? I have a Sigma APO Macro 180mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM.

The largest adapter is 77mm. You would have to contact Polaroid to see if they have a way to make an 86mm adapter for you.

I don't have the answer to that but the flash failed the 2nd time I turned it on and I returned it. I do not recommend buying it.

As far as I know, there is no threading, at least in the one I got about three years ago. The outside diameter is about 69mm, and it has no threads. I saw a mod by a German guy on YouTube and I did the same. I bought a 72mm rubber lens hood, removed the rubber part and kept the plastic ring. Then I wrapped some electrician's tape around the lens, so I could fit the&#65279; plastic ring on it without any glue: I just pressed and turned the ring, and it got stuck pretty tightly. Now I can use a 72mm UV or polarizing filter.&#65279;

I used this on a 100mm macro with one of the larger adapters and experienced no difficulties of any type. From looking at the 77mm filter ring adapter that came with my set I believe you will see no light leakage, halos or vignetting with your lens. This thing works great. I don't use this light as a flash but as a continuous light source. Battery life is very good- I use Eneloop rechargeables but ordinary alkaline AAs work well also. Highly recommended but useful only for macro- flat lighting removes shadows which only looks good on certain macro shots- bad results will occur if used for portraits or other shots where shadows add depth or interest.

You can use the macro section separately but not the fish eye with the 58mm. You could probably find an adapter, I'm not sure.

The Ring Light comes with seven insert adapters in 52mm, 55mm, 58mm, 62mm, 67mm, 72mm and 77mm. These are designed to thread into the various size lens and then into the base of the ring light. Just choose the adapter that fits the lens and then fit it into the light. It's really very simple and easy to use.

The filters do not have threads to accept anything in front. The mount is 53mm so if your macro lens is 53mm then you might be able to attach to the threaded mounting base.

Gerri, this fits onto a ring that is provided to adapt it to all sizes of lenses. I got the right ring on the second attempt. I do think you will enjoy the way the light gives you closeup lighting without shadows......Good Luck and get some images that will make you proud.

It is a thread on magnifier. You could use adapter rings for any thread size. It functions as advertised, but anytime you add lenses to the stack you introduce a decrease in quality. I wound up buying a longer good quality lens and I am much more satisfied ( but poorer) best of luck

I bought this mount ring from this seller last year. Eventhough they sent it from China but this mount arrived faster than what the seller said. FYI, I am in Nebraska.This item works as it should be in my canon 70-200mm 2.8 non IS. All you need to do is check if the mount ring for 70-200mm 2.8 IS has the same mount ring with 70-200mm non IS. You can check it on web.

Well, I don't use a light ring, but LIGHT is pretty important unless you're in the sunlight or bright daylight. I did get a light ring but it was far too bright for macros. So if you could find a nice gentle light-i'd go for it. Otherwise, plan on inventing some other light source. Unless, as I said, you're in daylight. The lens doesn't shadow the subject the way the macro built into the camera does. You can get far enough away that you won't leave a shadow. Hope that helps.

Nathan, I had to buy a ring adapter, it screws onto the end of your lens (58mm) then i bought the adapter ring that went from a 58mm down to a 52mm. Hope this helps.. the adapter ring is only a couple bucks plus shipping, if you go on ebay and watch u can pick then up for about $3-$4 and free shipping

The two pieces are threaded together but the macro portion is threaded 58mm to fit your lens. Someone may make a reducer ring to make up for the difference. I cannot tell you what the thread size is on the fish eye portion, as I have not used without the macro portion attached.

My adapter ring had threads to screw into the end of the lens. You have to be very careful, so to not cross thread it and ruin it while attaching the ring. But mine screwed into place and has been very useful. I keep the UV filter on all the time, so I don't scratch the lens.

No adaptor required - the Macro lenses just screw into the front of a regular lens like a filter. The autofocus should still work, although with the Macro lens added you won't be able to focus out to infinity. The Macro set comes in a range of diameters - order the one that matches the filter ring size printed on the front of your lens. Mine takes the 58mm size, but it's a Canon.

I would have to see it to answer your question correctly but I attach it to a this http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/124818-REG/Chimera_2785M_Speed_Ring_for_Mounting.html I'm so sorry for not being more helpful. If you sent me a link of what you are talking about I might be able to assist you more.

You should mount the heaviest part of ur setup which would be the lens if you are using this hwad. You would need an Arca Swiss adapter for your camera if you are trying to mount it.
