Which Nissin Flash is Right for You?

 

The Nissin MF18 Macro Ring Flash is an easy-to-use TTL ring flash designed for professional medical and dental photography.  The MF18 features a user-friendly interface that delivers consistently accurate exposures in Auto or TTL mode.  The Nissin MF18 delivers 12 f/stop more light output than LED ring lights; this enables you to shoot with apertures (f16-f32) required for maximum depth of field. 

The Nissin MG10 is a powerful (GN80, 165 w/s) multi-purpose handle grip flash designed for professional real estate, wedding and event photography. For real estate photography, the Nissin MG10 incorporates a remote shutter release trigger built-into the flash grip. This allows the user to move freely around a space with the flash capturing flash exposures without having to setup and reposition flashes and light stands.

The Nissin MG80 Pro flash was designed for professional high volume wedding and event photographers. The MG80 Pro features robust heat resistance, lithium ion battery support, and Nissin's NAS wireless radio control system (transmitter and receiver). The MG80 Pro incorporates venting in the flash head with heat resistant components (quartz flash tube, glass plate, etc.) to deliver continuous shooting without overheating.
