Photography - Camera Help Please
7 Answers
Hi, I have a Canon EOS m10 and need to try to adapt it to an SLR spec with a macro 100mm lens (which I think it will support) but I can’t see how it’s compatible with a ring flash? Any advice? Thanks

As I say, a real pain. As you mention macro, if you're not trying to to do real world insect photography have you considered a cheap light tent to give the illumination you want?
I use my 100mm full scale on my 50D with the 430EX w/o an issue. I'll try to uncover some photographs when I return home to show you the outcomes. I am sure that ring glimmer would work better yet like you I can't bear the cost of one and I don't take that numerous large-scale photographs to legitimize the buy.
