MeiKe MK950 speedlight for Canon released

A new automatic flashgun has been released by MeiKe of China. Sitting alongside their earlier manual-only speedlight, the MK930, the MeiKe MK950 adds a range of features such as Canon E-TTL, an LCD screen and stroboscopic mode. The device was on show at Interphoto Shanghai with other upcoming MeiKe speedlights.

The MK950 is based on the same body as the MK930 – both of them essentially clones of the Nikon SB-900. However, there are a few key differences from the outside. Firstly, the newer TTL flash has a metal foot while the older manual unit has a weaker plastic one. Additionally, to be able to use all the extra features, the MK950 has a liquid crystal display to replace the basic “idiot lights” on the MK930.
