This piece of equipment works well. It's plastic, so don't drop it... But, for the money, you can't beat it. The light comes with some adapters for bigger lenses - make sure that the right adapter for your lens is included. I had to buy another adapter to fit my wider lens.

This is a very cheap piece of plastic gear, and the first one I got was dead and had to be exchanged. BUT, the working replacement is still cheap feeling, but works quite well. If you have the money, the two Canon original equipment macro ring flashes are excellent units, with few detractors. But for occasional use, they're really hard to justify price-wise. This no-name (Phoenix is a camera generic brand) unit works fine, allowing me to get well illuminated macro shots that really do require a ring flash.
Pros: Recycle time is fast, illumination is even, and it plays well with Canon.
Cons: Cheapest imaginable construction, and first one was dead in the box.

The unit looks good but just didn't work. I tried two different ones just in case. The first unit never charged or worked in manual mode. The second unit worked for about 10 minutes and then failed. I was so looking to save some money and it just did not work with my camera. I have a Canon XT so it should have worked. Too bad as some reviews were very good. Hopefully, I just had a bad run. Amazon as usual, made good on the unit so I was not out anything but a bit of time. Too bad for all of us.

I rate this high because I knew its limitations from reading previous reviews so my expectations were not that high. So far it is working really well and for the price cannot be beat.

After only a few weeks of use this flash quit working, after which there was a strong electrical smell and the battery compartment started melting from the heat of an obvious electrical short. I would not recommend this unit.
