5000 Macro Ring Flash

6000AF TTL Autofocus Macro Ring Flash
When shooting at extremely
short distances, relatively minor
movement of lighting and subject
results in relatively large changes
of exposure. Shooting quick-
moving subjects in rapidly
changing conditions becomes an
exercise in dependency on film
latitude. Designed for Nikon,
Canon, Minolta and Pentax AF
cameras, the 6000AF features TTL operation allowing accurate exposures of closeup
subjects. TTL metering eliminates the need for lengthy calculations of exposure, because
the inherent loss of light at macro distances can automatically be accounted with ease.
◆ Provides an auto range up to 10´ ◆ Flash test button and flash ready indicator
6000AF TTL Autofocus Macro Ring Flash: For Canon EOS
(VI6000CAF), Minolta Maxxum
(VI6000MAF), Nikon AF (VI6000NAF), and Pentax AF (VI6000PAF).........................................99.95
