Godox has released a new macro flash unit that offers a twin-strobe arrangement for close-up photography. The new Godox MF-T76 is very similar to the previous Godox MF-R76 - except for the fact that instead of a circular ring flash design, this offers to separate flash units that can be independently placed around the front of the lens. The MF-T76 will be available in three different dedicated TTL versions for Sony, Nikon and Canon interchangeable lens camera systems.

Ring flash and twin flash units are widely used in close-up photography - fitting on front of a macro lens to ensure even illumination, even when the camera and photographer are throwing the subject into shadow. As well as being used by wildlife photographers for close-ups of flowers and creepy-crawlies, they are widely used by medical photographers, forensic investigators and dentists.

The flash power from the two units is 76Ws - with manual power settings range from full down to 1/256 power at one-third of a stop increments. As well as offering TTL automatic metering, there is a High Speed Sync, allowing you to use your camera's highest shutter speeds. The units also offer 2.4G Wireless X System compatiblity, so can work in unison with other Godox wireless flashguns. Built-in modelling lights to allow you to preview the lighting ratios, and to aid focusing.
