Can I Put Macro ring lite MR-14EX on my Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 lens and how close I can go in magnification or it's better to use ML-3?

Mario, the MR-14EX is suppose to mount on the MP-E 65 directly, and I believe that macro lens gives you life size to X5. Also, the ML-3 should mount on the MP-E 65 without an adapter ring as the flash heads on both units are the same (mounting) size. I currently use the ML-3 on a 180 f/3.5 macro (with a 72C adapter ring) and with certain subjects, and under some conditions, get nice macro shots. I'm going to be parting with it one of these days however to move on to the MT-24EX.
