What size lens is optimal for this Ring Light? Seems like you'd have to use something no longer than a 24mm.

I use my 24-70 at about 50 mm. There are many times that I don't use it as a shoot-through. I will put it just in front and above my model to create an interesting catch light in the eyes. Overall, I have found it to be a great light source to have around.

24mm would really distort the face! I use my 70-200 on my D700 (full frame sensor) at 70mm and sometimes use my 50mm 1.8 lens. You need to up your ISO to about 800 to get any depth of field, ie 5.6 or 8. I'm not that much of a fan of the circle in the eyes but people like it!! I would recommend the MyRingLight!

Does anyone know if this ring flash will fit on a Sigma 105mm macro lens?? Would an adaptor be needed and if so what kind? Thanks!

I've owned both, heres my opinion: the 24-105mm is best for a travel lens when you dont wanna be annoyed by changing lenses. The 24mm f/2.8 is more if you want the best sharpness and contrast with less destortion. It is in the pro league of prime lenses. The zoom lens is just a good but not great all arounder that does a lot though.

There were two different versions of this lens, with different size filters. Look for a circle with a slash through it on the front of the lens. The number beside this is the size you need. Ebay is the best place to find one. Hope this works for you.

I have the canon 17-85mm lens and it works great. You could also get the 40mm pancake or if you have a bit more of a buget, get the 24-105 mm canon lens, it is a sweet lens with a sharp image.

Depends on the Lens you are using with the 350D. It comes with various sizes that you equip to the lens and slide the ring light onto the piece.

Dear Tracy, thanks for your question. We have got an reply from the supplier and being told that the outer diameter of the ring light is 104.15mm. Hope this is helpful to you. --CamerAcc

Hardy,Thanks for the info about getting better lenses. I just "bit the bullet" and bought the 24-105mm L lens. I have heard this same wise advice from other photographers, and I am looking forward to getting sharper photos with the new lens, and I will try to get only L lenses from now on. In the end, you truly get what you pay for.

I would go with a more versatile lens for low light performances. Maybe a 70-200 or something similar.

I personally would go with the 18-105mm. It is more "flexible." Hope this helps.

Hi bruno, I mentioned a rather stiff zoom ring starting around 100mm and no it didn't get better. I did exchange it and the new copy was better but still a bit stiff, the low light characteristics on the replacement improved just a little bit . This lens for me pretty much spends it's time in a drawer unless I'm going somewhere outside that requires going light and the photo's taken aren't important. It's rarely on my camera.

My guess is that it'll be ok in a pinch, but you might be better off with something more sturdy. I've only had experience with a Nikon D4 with 14-24mm lens, and it was fine.

Well, I know the 18 to 24 will be to small for that....so I would do the 24 to 36 but I'm not sure how long the light itself is.

I'm having the same problem using this lens on my D80 camera. What you are saying is that there is no way for me to use the ring to adjust the aperture? It only works when locked on 22?? This doesn't seem right.

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.

It has an adapter so you can use 72mm put the adapter ring on and use the 58mm I bought the 58mm to start with and the picture was better without it. I have not tried other lenses yet.

ahh just to vary the answer, little tip, you can use a 62mm step up ring and use a larger (common filter) say 72 or 77 and that way you only spend a few dollars on different step up rings instead of buying diffrent filter size for all lenses. I have noted the filter size of the Fuji lenses I have: 14mm - 5823mm - 6235mm - 5256mm - 6260mm - 3955-200mm - 62
