The MADRF14C/N/S Marumi Ring Flash is perfect for those who like the Macro/Close-up photography. This unit consists of a main control unit and a separate ring light which connects to the lens filter thread. The Marumi DRF14 Ring Flash is ideal for Macro/Close-up photography due to the flash light being positioned directly between the camera lens and subject allowing for even/shadowless illumination.

The device incorporates direct hotshoe synchronization and has a flash duration of 1/7000th second with a recycling time of 4-6 seconds.

PocketWizard has recently introduced its MiniTT1 Transmitter and FlexTT5 Transceiver for the Nikon DSLR camera system at PhotoPlus Expo in New York City (October 28th – 30th, 2010). Measuring 2.8-inch x 1.9-inch x 1.3-inch, the Nikon-system PocketWizard MiniTT1 Transmitter is a tiny, low-profile unit that slides into the camera’s hot shoe. Meanwhile, the FlexTT5 Transceiver is also low-profile but slightly larger transceiver that measures 3.6-inch x 2.9-inch x 1.4-inch. Both devices take the complex TTL exposure data being sent through the camera’s hot shoe and digitally transmit it as a reliable radio signal. Perfect for commercial, wedding, sports, fashion photography and so much more, the MiniTT1 Transmitter and FlexTT5 Transceiver can be used to control single or multiple off-camera Nikon i-TTL flash units at speeds up to 6fps and faster.

The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 200mm f/2G ED VR II lens is a fast telephoto lens that adopts the second generation Vibration Reduction technology (VR II), which provides compensation equivalent to a shutter speed four stops faster, making it easier to capture sharp images during hand-held shooting. The Silent Wave Motor (SMW) ensures quiet and accurate autofocus performance, so it won’t disturb the subject or event. The lens construction of 13 elements in nine groups with three ED glass and one Super ED glass elements, together with Nikon’s unique Nano Crystal Coat, ensures highest-quality images. The ED glass construction offers sharp and contrast-rich images, while the Nano Crystal Coat effectively reduces ghost and flare, meaning the lens can be used with confidence, even when shooting into bright light. The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 200mm f/2G ED VR II lens also features three focus modes (A/M, M/A and M) and a Tripod Detection Mode, which automatically compensates for minute vibrations when mounted on a tripod. The lens is fully compatible with all current Nikon teleconverters, increasing its versatility by allowing for extended tele reach. The AF-S Nikkor 200mm f/2G ED VR II will be released in October 2010 for an MSRP of US$5,999.95. Each purchase comes equipped with a lens hood HK-31, a tripod-mount, a drop-in filter holder and a high quality ballistic nylon case CL-L1 in the style of a shoulder bag. [Nikon USA]
