Godox has announced a new flash. It is the MF12 macro flash. Up to 6 flashes can be combined on a special adapter ring, allowing you to take shadow-free macro photos.

The MF12 flash is a small, lightweight flash that was specifically developed for macro photography. You can use the flash both on the camera and off-camera.
What is special is the option to use it together with five other MF12 flashes. A special adapter ring allows you to attach these 6 flashes in a ring around your lens.
The flashes are not very powerful, which is ideal for macro photography. They produce just enough light so that your subject is not overexposed. By combining several flashes, you can still create more flash power.
By placing six flashes in a ring, you get the same effect as with a regular ring flash. The advantage of these 6 separate MF12 flashes is that you can change their direction and flash power independently.

The flashes have a built-in Li-ion battery that is sufficient for 500 flashes. At full power, it takes 1.7 seconds to recharge the flash. According to Godox, that is.
The MT12 flash is expected to be available in shops around October. Dutch prices are not yet known at the time of writing, but prices of 109 dollars for one unit are being mentioned, as well as 723 dollars for a set of six flashes with adapter ring. The trigger has to be purchased separately.

More information can be found on the Godox website.
