Operability is enhanced with improvements across the board including two removable diffusers, a new LCD screen and smart, redesigned controls. The Macro Twin Lite MT-26EX-RT is a portable, indispensable lighting tool for anyone serious about enhancing their close-up photography.

Versatile and ready to be adjusted for a variety of applications, each of the Macro Twin Lite MT-26EX-RT's flash heads can rotate up to 60° horizontally and 45° vertically. They're also completely detachable, allowing easy positioning for the scene. The Macro Twin Lite MT-26EX-RT's front ring can also rotate independently, helping to ensure flexible control and freedom to create a lighting environment tailored to the subject at hand.
Maximum Guide Number 85.3 ft./26m° at ISO 100.
The Macro Twin Lite MT-26EX-RT has a maximum Guide Number of 85.3 ft./26m^ at ISO 100 when both sides are firing. This delivers powerful lighting head-on, and thanks to independent output for each flash head, natural-looking, three-dimensional and directional lighting effects can be achieved with ease.
Radio Transmission Wireless Flash Functionality**.
For high flexibility and application in multi-flash shooting setups, the Macro Twin Lite MT-26EX-RT can be controlled wirelessly through optical or radio transmission**. As the sender unit of up to 5 groups or up to 15 flash units, the Macro Twin Lite MT-26EX-RT can be easily incorporated into numerous, sophisticated wireless setups both in the studio and out in the field.

Expanded Manual Flash Setting Range (up to 1/512***).The Macro Twin Lite MT-26EX-RT has expanded manual controls that enable impressive, subtle results with ease and are easily adjusted on the LCD panel. Each flash head can be controlled independently in 1/3-stop increments. Flash emissions can even be set as low as 1/512*** to suppress blown-out highlights in close-up photography, which is helpful when photographing high-speed subjects like hummingbirds or butterflies, and to achieve optimal lighting adjustments in a wide variety of situations.
Removable Diffusers Included.
To create a soft, expansive light source, the Macro Twin Lite MT-26EX-RT comes with two removable diffusers that scatters the flash's illumination more widely and with less intensity. The Macro Twin Lite MT-26EX-RT detects when the diffusers are attached and can automatically determine the appropriate intensity of illumination to compensate for any light lost. By evening out the light source, the diffusers are especially effective in minimizing shadows while emphasizing and maintaining detail in highlight areas.
