will this ring flash fit on a 58 mm macro lens and if not which adapter should buy?

It depends on the specific lens you have. This flash attaches to a flange on the lens barrel with a pinch-lock mechanism. If your lens is designed to work with this flash, it should have the flange already. If it is not a Canon lens, you will undoubtedly need an adapter. Look at this one: Macrolite Adapter 58C for Canon G2, G3, G5, G6 & Pro1 Digital Cameras. One of the reviewers reports that he used it on a Tamron lens, so it can be used on more than just the cameras specified by Canon.

Hi Oriana, from checking the specs of the camera online, as well as product images. I believe that the 52-58mm step up ring will work. My advice is to just make sure the your camera has threading at the lens tip, or you can go to your local camera shop and seek their advice (as I never owned a sony camera before, I use nikon and canon(modified)), before you make your purchase. Now, another way is to modify your camera(if there is no threading), but I would highly recommend that you not go this route as the lens is closer to the tip and can damage your lens.

I only use this adapter on my 18 to 55 lens, and I got some excellent results. So it should fit just fine with a 14-44mm.

Not sure, It fits my D60 and the lenses are interchangeable on all Nikon SLR's , I am very happy with the Ring flash!!!

Yes. I've used it with a Tamron 90mm macro with no issues. However, depending on the size of the filter threads, you may need a step-up ring to attach it to the lens. These are not expensive or hard to find.

Your ring flash is not going to go into the camera pocket mounted on a lens any longer then a standard 35 prime... I have problems putting my camera in with my 100-300 lens on... or a shorted lens with a hood. Hope that helps. -J

I use the Yongnuo YN-14EX, TTL LED Macro Ring Flash Light for Canon. Works like a charm and won't break the bank.Yongnuo YN-14EX TTL LED Macro Ring Flash Light for Canon

I am hoping to use this on an E-510 with their 50mm macro lens and extension tube which have 52mm threads and a 52-58mm adapter. Assuming you purchased this flash, are you using the same set-up and what has been your experience? If anyone else is using this with a similar Olympus camera, I'd like your comments also.

Adapter rings are provided for a number of lens sizes. Not sure about the ttl flash function but suspect it would. I use it off camera as much as on to back light flowers, up light and side light. It works great and is very useful in low light when shooting flowers.

I don't know if it'll work with the Metz 58 but it's worked with 3 different flashes for me from Canon, Sunpak and I can't remember the last one but it was a generic manual flash

Really I don't know, because i bought the Adapter for a Nikon camera with a 60 mm macro, and it work perfect. Maybe you could need a ring adapter for your canon.

This is a two-piece set, which includes the hood and a ring. The ring screws on the lens threads normally used by filters; and then the hood screws onto the ring once it's fastened. Considering that the ring is 58mm and fits on the lens threads, it should fit on anything that takes 58mm filters. So yes, it will fit if your lens accepts 58mm filters.

Hello, The flash comes with a set of plastic rings and these lens attachments have a groove on their outer surface, select the one that fits the diameter of your lens and screw it on as if it were a filter, the two push buttons on either side of the flash ring operate 4 small hooks, that get engaded in the groove in the lens attachment. I hope it works now ! cheers, Sandor

Look at the size of the ring adapters. Look at the filter size that your lens takes. Since this set comes so many adapters... yes it will work. But at the price for this set, you really do get what you pay for. I used this set only once.

To use the ring lite, I had to get a Canon Microlite Adapter 67 for my Canon 18-135mm lens and Canon 100mm macro lens

The flash is designed to fit 58mm and smaller filter size. If you try and adapt to 62mm or 67mm, you are going to get vignetting (fall-off of light causing darkening of the image at the edges and/or corners.) You need either a larger ring flash for those larger lenses, or to use another flash setup-- a ring light, most probably, for Macro, or a standard flash or 2 or 3 if you are doing portraiture. It seems odd that you would have three different macro lenses, so I'm guessing that you wanting to use the light for both macro (probably your 52mm filter size lens) and for portraiture with your other lenses. Might be best to go with separate flash set-ups for macro and portraiture. Making a lot of assumptions here, but trying to address your concerns. Good luck.
