Canon Flash Auto Ring

The Canon Flash Auto Ring is a vintage macro flash unit designed to bring consistent, shadowless lighting to close-up photography. Originally released as part of Canon’s FD-era macro system, this ring flash was a favorite among scientific photographers, dental pros, and 35mm shooters looking to tame tricky lighting scenarios at high magnification.

It’s designed to mount directly to compatible Canon macro lenses via a 52mm thread and provides even, wraparound illumination—ideal for shooting flowers, insects, stamps, or texture-heavy product shots. Though not TTL-compatible by modern standards, it’s fully functional with manual flash exposure using guide numbers, making it perfect for analog macro shooters or collectors of Canon’s classic flash gear.

This Canon Flash Auto Ring shows moderate signs of use, with cosmetic wear on the body and minor scuffing consistent with age. All functions have been tested and are working properly. The flash fires reliably, and the ring mount is clean with no cracks or deformation. Please note: no power supply or cord is included—just the ring flash itself.

A cool find for anyone shooting Canon FD macros or building out a retro-cool lighting setup for the bench or studio.
