Got the same ring flash a while ago. It’s fully T.T.L and works well for macro. It also works well off the lens the vignetting is then no longer a problem. For the price of 79.99 euro it is what it is and works well. The same place sells extension tubes that are full wired up to keep all electronics working with the lens and camera. For around the same price, and work as they should. They sell for most cameras and for anyone thinking of starting macro well for that price it’s well worth it.
my friend thanks for the nice video. I am considering to do a hand made ugly light haha but maybe will buy the canon macro ring light. Thanks again keep posting :)
as you point out, this is meant to be used in macro. The problem you are having with the vignetting is down to both the lens and the flash.
My ringflash setup has a 52mm default screw which is fine for Nikon DX kit lenses but has horrific vignetting with my 67mm( filter size) lenses. The simple fact is that you have a ring flash that needs a greater diameter to work on medium to telephoto
Good video. Shows what these things are for and more importantly what they are not for.
The black ring on your photos is called "vignetting". It happens on wide angle lenses when you stack filters on it, or in this case, because of the bulky ring flash.
Like you said, the flash is for macro photo, so vignetting should not be a problem on close up shots. An 18-105mm lens (not 135) is basically a wide angle to mild macro lens, not a dedicated macro, that's why you see vignetting.
Why is your video mirrored/backward btw?
Oh, I posted a video of a cheap alternative to a ring flash.

So I'm guessing this is purely TTL.
BTW. The guy who said the black circle was vignetting is wrong but I'm sure you know that.

Very cool. Funny I just uploaded a flash vid up to YouTube myself. That ring flash can be used for creative portraits use as well.
