Re: Canon Macro Twin Lite MT-26EX-RT question

Oh, let me also add, and this time without caveats, that JK is absolutely right about twin flashes not being an out of the box and off to the races type thing --- well, unless you are taking shots that dont necessarily require "pleasing" light, like if you are just documenting different specimens of insect, whatevs. Maybe it will be fine. But if you want pleasing, non harsh light, it takes some time and practice...and experimenting, but thats 3/4 of the fun of photography! I will say this, Im not yet content with my diffusing solutions. I have a couple ways to diffuse with them, but I think I can still come up with something better. I also really, really LOVE the long arms for some situations but I keep breaking them. Sooooo frustrating. I just wish someone would make them so they can be moved around a lot without snapping. The ones I used was basically a long arca plate with 2 goosenecks attached on either side. I just attached cold shoes to the ends and vula. Those things are super strong. Could hold 2 small speedlights, but that would be a beast to handle. Its just when I keep adjusting them, eventually they snap where the arms connect to the plate. Errrrrr
