If you go online and look for photographic accessories ranging from anything from camera batteries and grips to tripods, stands and other paraphernalia, it won’t be long before Neewer pops up in the results. The company has been going about its business since 2011 and has built a good reputation for designing and manufacturing quality kit at very affordable prices.
Despite a rapidly growing range of accessories in all areas, Neewer is best known for its lighting systems, which include flashes, LED panels, ring lights, video lights and related add-ons like soft boxes, brollies, reflectors, and triggers, to name but a few. The item I’m reviewing here is the Neewer RF1 Macro Ring Flash, which comes in dedicated options to suit Canon, Nikon and Sony cameras. I went for the Nikon dedicated version but all three aim to be among the best macro ring flash options currently available, especially if you’re on a tight budget.
