Compatible with Canon's wide range of RF/EF Macro lenses1, the Macro Twin Lite MT-26EX-RT supports E-TTL II2 / E-TTL autoflash and manual flash. It also offers users a pair of independently controlled left and right flash heads which can be rotated over 80° around the mount ring in 5° increments. The flash heads can also be swiveled in different horizontal and vertical directions or removed from the mount ring for off-camera flash. As a result, flash direction and lighting position can be controlled flexibly. Featuring a maximum Guide Number of 26 (meter; ISO 100) for both sides firing or 19.9 (ISO 100, meter) for single-side firing, the Marco Twin Lite allows users to explore unique and creative lighting set ups when working close up at high magnifications. Manual flash range can be set from 1/1 to 1/512 with 1/3-step increments (1/1 to 1/64 for its predecessor) allowing finer adjustment on flash output and hence a more accurate and balanced exposures with ambient light during Macro photography.

MT-26EX-RT features a highly durable metal mounting foot same as Speedlite 600EX II-RT, for secured flash installation. With an improved quick locking mechanism, hot shoe and contact reliability is further enhanced - a dust-wipe mechanism can remove dust and dirt stuck to the hot shoe contact, while a variable contact pressure design can improve transmission reliability by varying the pressure at the contacts, enabling the camera and flash contacts to remain firmly in touch while preventing scratches on the hot shoe, making it easier to attach and remove. The flash will also implement 2-line transmission for important signals. With the backup contacts, transmission accuracy is greatly improved. Also, equipped with the 58mm filter thread at the front of flash unit, user can install optional protective filter, circular polarizing filter or Lens Cap E-58 II (sold separately) to prevent dust and dirt build-up, and protects the macro lens against scratches and bumps at work.
