Macro Twin Lite MT-24 EX Attachment Issue

[doggiedoc]

Hi all - I bought a used MT-24 from Lens Rentals.com and based on Bryan's comments on his review expected it to attach directly (sans adapter) to my EF 100mm ƒ2.8 L IS USM Macro Lens. It doesn't fit.





Are there different versions of the MT-24 EX or did I misinterpret something?


Anybody know what adapter model I need?





Thanks,


Paul

I was told by B&H you have to have the 72C with a step down ring to go to the 67mm 100mm F2.8L. I have been waiting on the 72C adapter to be in stock for some time.


Are you sure Bryan's review (I didn't check it) is not talking about the non L series 100mm


EDIT: Neuro has the right option below

You are correct. In the review Bryan is talking about the non-L version. Damn.

General Brand 67mm-72mm Step-Up Ring (Lens to Filter)

is this what I need?


Thanks,

It only attaches directly to macro lenses with a 58mm filter thread (non-L 100mm macro and MP-E 65mm). For the 100mm L IS Macro, you need the Macrolite 67C adapter. It's in stock.


Rick - whoever you talked to at B&amp;H was dead wrong. You do need the 72C for the 180mm L Macro, though.

Maybe BH was wrong. But....those were on my wish list for some time.


I bought mine at a local store today, they had the Macrolite 67C adapter in stock. It wouldn

I have both the 100mm L and the 180mm L. I doubt I use the flash much with the 100mm L because when I use a tripod the 180mm will be the lens of choice.


That may be why B&amp;H said the step up ring would work. Since I had to have the 72C any way, and I think the step up ring to use the 72C on the 100mm would be a cheap work around. Save about $20.


I am going back to the camera store today, thinking back maybe it was not a 67C we were trying to mount. What I remember the labeling saying was that it is a Canon 67mm macro adapter. To me it appeared to be a step up ring, a very expensive one it was $32.00. Still the most likely option is that we didn

Makes sense, sort of, Rick. That
