[@yasminakhlaghi8106]

may you do a video where you discuss the difference and between value, hue, and chrome. Thank you!

[@bassambutto2187]

Can I get the link to the mirror handle, please?

[@Letsreadthefacts]

Hello doc.... Which mirrors you prefer... Titanium finished or rhodium ??

[@harshadjain4386]

Where can i get mirror handle ?

[@mohamedtalaat3409]

Thank you

[@deanbrandon3615]

I used this setup in my residency and got some great photos. I am upgrading the equipment now, but the basics still apply. I am thinking of a Canon 100mm RF f2.8 macro lens with a ring flash. Is this still a good setup? I cannot see using the f2.8 setting here because of depth-of-field issues. So, higher f settings. Is there another flash system that might work? a dual flash setup?

[@sfrerku]

Hi, I'm looking at an 85mm macro lens and a Ring Flash that comes with 8 adapter rings, from 49mm all the way to 77mm. Does this mean that I can't use this Ring Flash with this 85mm macro? I'm new at this. Please any info will be appreciated. Thanks!

[@juanestebanserrano3169]

Great video playlist, will be watching more!! I was recommended to get a 60mm macro lens for canon. Which one would you rather get 100mm or 60mm? Please let me know and why would you choose either one?

[@TheComprehensiveDentist]

Juan Esteban Serrano If you are using a crop sensor camera, a smaller focal length lens like the 60mm would likely work fine. If it is a full frame, go with the 100 mm. Although, I have used 100 mm on a crop sensor and it works well!

[@juanestebanserrano3169]

I have a T6 thinking on upgrading in the future but for now I hope this one works. Im not sure if T6 has a crop sensor

[@cavazosa4]

Hi. Great info. What camera settings do you recommend for shooting Intra oral? Can you tell us your shutter speed, f-stop, ISO, and flash setting? Thanks Alex

[@TheComprehensiveDentist]

Alejandro Cavazos For Intra-oral, i shoot a f-stop of 22 or higher, shutter speed of 1/200 or 1/250, ISO at the lowest (100 or 200), and standard flash settings. I hope to do a photography video in the future that will go into this more...

[@dharanisoundarapandian6587]

Keeping iso at 200, F 22 and shutter speed at 1/32 gives almost the same photo as a ring flash. Just tried this today

[@makaveliarun1985]

ring flash or twin flash which one do u recommend

[@TheComprehensiveDentist]

Arun s I currently use a ring flash and it has served me well. I think a ring flash is sufficient for anyone who is taking photos primarily for use within the dental practice or for consultation purposes, day to day things. When you dive deeper into photography, if you publish photos in journals, or decide to get “fancy” with your photos, you can still use a ring flash but many recommend a twin flash due to the “depth” it creates. Ring flashes tend to produce very flat images, whereas twin flash shoots light to the sides of the subject creating a more front to back depth. In the words of many photographers and videographers I follow, “it is not always the equipment but how you use it”. If you have a DSLR and a ring flash you are set in my opinion. Hope that helps!

[@MsFlipjack]

Hi,thanx for the video,it's really useful) Can you show the positions during the shooting and settings for Canon?

[@dariocultrera3556]

Hi, I have a Canon eos d4000, a tokina 100mm Atx m macro and a ring flash meike, but I m not able to use the flash.. When I shot the photo is totally black

[@floweriepot]

Does the ringlight require an adapter for the 100mm macrolens?

[@TheComprehensiveDentist]

It does not require an adaptor.

[@rs2274]

Thank you for this video, I can’t place my ring flash, why is that

[@TheComprehensiveDentist]

You may need an adapter ring.

[@TheToothRestorator]

Amazing video! I am new to this, can the flash mounted to canon mirrorless camera as well? Does it have to be DSLR? Trying to get canon m50.

[@TheComprehensiveDentist]

Andy Huh the Dentist I am not 100% sure in the mirrorless cameras. My first thought would be that it should work. I know canon has different lenses for those, so it could require a different mount to the lens. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work though.

[@card-joker5301]

The canon MR-14EX (or canon Mr - 14ex II) works with eos m50 too. The m50 have the canon m Mount, so you need a adapter from "eos m to eos ef" you need an macro lens, you could use the efs 60mm or for more zoom the canon ef 100mm

[@card-joker5301]

The canon efs 60 macro have a build in led Light in IT. Maybe its enough Light for you?

[@Pure.energy10]

I only need pictures for teeth Whitening purposes so just front view for before and after pics. I have the Canon EOS Rebel T3i Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens already. Will that work? Do I need the 100mm Macro lens and the Macro TTL Ring Flash Light for that?

[@TheComprehensiveDentist]

PureEnergy M. With the lens you mentioned, your subject will have to be farther away, which means good up close shots of the teeth will be difficult to obtain. This is where the macro lens helps with the ring flash for lighting.

[@MrCastro211]

With a crop sensor camera , a 60 mm macro lens is good " specially for orthodontics" or a 100 mm ?!

[@TheComprehensiveDentist]

Fady Gerges I don’t have a lot of experience with 60 mm macro lenses. I can tell you that I have used 100 mm macro lenses on crop sensor cameras and they worked great for dental. I even used it some for my ortho patients in residency.

[@rahim085]

Can you tell me the setting on your camera

[@TheComprehensiveDentist]

[@robertovazquez3000]

Great video! Would you recommend a 105 mm macro lens? Thank you

[@TheComprehensiveDentist]

leidy vazquez that should work :)

[@chieflexx2237]

Hi, could you share the exact flash and focus settings on the camera? I work for a dentist who has these exact materials and wants quality pictures similar to yours

[@TheComprehensiveDentist]

Chief Lexx Hello! I will do my best to give this info on here. I hope to have a lecture on photography finished soon that will be more detailed. For the flash, ETTL is what I use. I prefer to shoot manual focus and on manual mode. I set the shutter speed to 1/250. For the aperture or f-stop, extraoral is shot at f5.6 minimum or close. Intra-oral is shot at f22 or higher.

[@chieflexx2237]

The Comprehensive Dentist Thank you!

[@redcrimson2541]

❤Thank you

[@daksheshthumar9747]

Sir macro lens should be 100 mm or we can use 50 mm macro lens also?

[@TheComprehensiveDentist]

Dakshesh Thumar The lowest I would recommend is 100. It would be hard to get a close shot of teeth with a 50.

[@AnotherRandomFellow]

I have a Canon sx50 HS powershot, is the lens in your description and flash compatible?

[@TheComprehensiveDentist]

AnotherRandomFellow I am not as familiar with that camera, but from a quick google search, haha, it doesn’t appear to be a camera that allows you to switch out lenses. Or in other words, the lens looks fixed or attached to the body. If that is the case, it would not be compatible with the 100 mm lens or ring flash mentioned.

[@AnotherRandomFellow]

@@TheComprehensiveDentist thanks, thats a pity, your set up is looking great

[@DanielMooreDJ]

Hi I am a professional photographer and have a degree in photography. Do I need a medical degree to get into a clinical photography course or can I apply to it with my photography degree

[@TheComprehensiveDentist]

Daniel Moore You don’t need a degree to take a clinical photography course but as a non-provider, why would you want to, if you don’t mind me asking? When I teach these courses it is usually to dental providers who have zero or very little experience with cameras. And the images are very specific to dentistry.

[@DanielMooreDJ]

@@TheComprehensiveDentist Thanks. It isn’t dental photography as sure I am interested in it’s more hospital medical photography. Before I took up photography I wanted to be a surgeon and found it really interesting. When I took up photography it took over my future in learning and I basically forgot about being a surgeon. I recently discovered clinical photography in hospitals and thought this would be a great way to tie 2 of my passions together

[@yugi5625]

Hi, first of all thank you for uploading such an informative video!!! If i were to purchase this canon camera, i was actually hoping to purchase the YONGNUO YN-14EX TTL MACRO RING FLASH ?? Would you recommend? and do you know if this is compatible?

[@TheComprehensiveDentist]

Yuganddha Rabel To be honest I am not 100% sure if it is compatible. I have seen many people do different parts from different companies and some turn out good and some don’t. It sounds promising and certainly cheaper. Personally, I will pay extra for the peace of mind and straightforward compatibility. That is just me though. Let me know how it works!

[@aldolopezL]

It is compatible :)

[@aldolopezL]

Just make sure to buy the newer version

[@mgyrpl]

Is the Canon MR 14EX worth to buy, as a newbie in dental photography?

[@omarelfarouk818]

Hello, sir can i be ur student in dentistry please?

[@lucid212]

You better use a twin flash, it is way much superior aesthetically

[@TheComprehensiveDentist]

Ahmad Abou-Elenein I wouldn’t say it is “way more superior esthetic.” A twin flash adds depth to the photo by not directing the light straight onto the teeth. I agree that it is considered more ideal for anterior teeth and cosmetic dentistry but way better is a stretch. A ring flash will get the job done.

[@lucid212]

The Comprehensive Dentist Ok, maybe, but did you think about integrating light bouncers to twin flash also? it will defeat the ring light genuinely. Think of it as taking portrait for someone with regular speedlight and another one with softbox. Ring light was meant for posterior teeth primarily, but at end of the da,y it’s fine, I got it. Thanks 🙏

[@TheComprehensiveDentist]

Ahmad Abou-Elenein in a perfect world...everyone would have a twin flash. They are more expensive, indeed. Sometimes it is not about the equipment you have but how you use it.

[@TTTmarketing]

👍👍👍

[@artofdentures]

is a 35mm macro lens adequate ?

[@TheComprehensiveDentist]

Ryan Tran No! You need to be able to get a little closer for the best images. 35 mm keeps you too far away from the teeth. 100 mm is a good choice.

[@zabjemcja]

great video, but a 1 minute intro is excessive... get to the point
