But with a slight redemption.
As the days are shortening / getting dull, I dug out the Canon MR14-EX
Try as I might, it would turn on but not fire up, I tried everything. I guess its reached the end of its life.
Things aren't built to last these days, its only 15 maybe 20 years old
As a replacement is a scary £600 + I thought I'd have a look to see what the options were.
I found a Neewer LED one on Amazon, in a warehouse deal as "used"
And apparently they fit a wide range of cameras and lens with several adapter rings thrown in.
I must admit to being skeptical but at 20 quid I thought it was worth the punt.
Well blow me, yep it fitted and yep there was a adapter ring that fitted the 100 mm is L lens.
And I'm sure it wasn't used, just a slight dent / crease in one corner of the retail box
It's never be as good as the 14-ex, but a quick test and it does look promising.
