Macro Twin Lite MT-26EX-RT for close-up photography

The Canon Macro Twin Lite MT-26EX-RT is a shoe-mount flash system designed for macro photographers who need controlled, directional light at close working distances. It consists of a control unit and two adjustable flash heads that can be positioned independently around the lens barrel. The unit supports E-TTL II and E-TTL automatic exposure with Canon cameras.

Check camera shoe and power source before ordering

Your camera must provide a standard hot-shoe connection to mount the control unit and communicate via E-TTL protocols. The flash heads draw power from four AA cells; both alkaline and NiMH chemistries are supported, so verify you have compatible batteries and a charger if you choose rechargeable types. The control unit adds 3.6 inches in height and 9.1 inches in width to your rig.

Steady output during extended macro sessions

With a guide number of 26 metres at ISO 100, the twin heads deliver consistent illumination for repeated close-up exposures without the rapid power drop-off seen in smaller on-camera flashes. The separate battery compartment in the control unit keeps weight off the shoe — total mass is approximately 1.26 pounds — allowing longer hand-held sequences before fatigue sets in.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must be bought separately?

The package contains the Macro Twin Lite MT-26EX-RT and its control unit. Four AA batteries — alkaline or NiMH — are required but not included.

Which version or capacity should I choose?

This is a single model, 2398C002, with a guide number of 26 m at ISO 100. There are no alternative capacities or versions to select.

What does the guide number 26 m mean in real use?

At ISO 100 the flash can correctly expose a subject up to 26 metres away with an f/1.0 lens; at smaller apertures the effective distance reduces proportionally.
