Attaching the Flash Unit to the Lens
A commercially-available filter can be
used during flash shooting. A filter can
be attached, using the two procedures
described below. Filters may not be used
together with some macro lenses.
(1) Attach a 67 mm filter on the front face of the flash unit (see the
above illustration).
(2) Attach the flash unit to the lens with the filter attached to the front of
the lens (filter thread).
*1: The lens cannot be used with a filter, since focusing is interrupted by an
attached filter touching the front of the lens. Also, filter may be damaged or the
lens malfunction may result.
*2:
Attach a filter to the front of the lens before attaching Macrolite Adapter (p.16) to
the front part of the filter. If attachment threads are not provided on the front rim
of the filter, the flash unit cannot be attached since Macrolite Adapter cannot be
attached. Note that if the flash unit is attached after a filter and Macrolite Adapter
are attached to the front of the lens, the periphery of the photo may look darker.
If you want to use a dedicated hood with the MP-E65mm f/2.8 1-5x
Macro Photo (sold separately), attach the flash unit after attaching
the hood to the lens.
A hood cannot be attached when using any other macro lens.
