Meike MK-MT24 wireless macro flash system (Adorama | Amazon) review by Steve Gong (website | Facebook | Instagram - see also his Meike 50mm f/1.7 lens for Nikon Z-mount review): The Meike MT-MT24 is one of the most interesting lighting products I’ve ever used. The concept of this product is similar to some macro flash systems that have been on the market for years - especially the Nikon R1C1 - but while I knew of their existence, I’ve never once considered them due to their exorbitantly high price (the R1C1 is over $700). This Meike MT-MT24 system, while at first glance seems pricey, coming in at $300, I’ve come to realize that it’s actually quite a good price for something specialized that works so well. It opens up a lot of possibilities in macro photography, and also simplifies the process tremendously. Why use a specialized macro lighting system like the MT-MT24? Hitherto, I’ve been shooting macro photos with standard off camera wireless speedlight flashes set manual power, set atop some kind of platform or light stand. Although this is all I knew, in retrospect, now having used the MT-MT24, it was a very cumbersome way of doing things. All the test photos you see in this article were shot within an hour, running and gunning. It’s highly portable, and stealthy. In addition, this is the first time I’m able to use TTL in macro flash photography, and it worked surprisingly well. I believe the best and easiest way to shoot...
