Description
Extension tubes are designed to enable a lens to focus closer than its normal set minimum focusing distance. Getting closer has the effect of magnifying your subject (making it appear larger in the viewfinder and in your pictures). They are exceptionally useful for macro photography, enabling you to convert almost any lens into a macro lens at a fraction of the cost while maintaining its original optical quality. The extension tubes have no optics. They are mounted in between the camera body and lens to create more distance between the lens and film plane. By moving the lens farther away from the film or CCD sensor in the camera, the lens is forced to focus much closer than normal. The greater the length of the extension tube, the closer the lens can focus. This KENKO AUTO EXTENSION TUBE SET contains two tubes of different length, a 10 mm and a 16 mm, which can be used individually or in any combination to obtain the desired magnification. Kenko's Auto Focus extension tubes are designed with all the circuitry and mechanical coupling to maintain auto focus and TTL auto exposure with most Canon, Nikon, Minolta and Micro 4/3 Mounts lenses given there is enough light to activate the cameras AF system properly. Please Note; 1. When using extension tubes the lens will not focus to infinity. The focus range will be greatly limited to a very close focusing distance. 2. There is light fall off when using any extension tube, sometimes the e

I am a serious hobbyist photographer. I have never made a full-time living doing photography (but I have had sporadic periods of good part-time/freelance income). I currently shoot on a Canon 6D and this is my first foray into macro photography. I first started with magnification filters, but I could not figure out how to get tack-sharp focus with them. They did enlarge nicely so the blur could have been user error. Anyway, I read about extension tubes while trying to research my blur problem. After a quick Google about extension tubes, I found the Kenko tubes. Reviews looked favorable so I ordered. I am really glad that I did. These tubes are pricier than most of the others on Amazon, but after reading reviews about tubes breaking and getting stuck in the camera/on the lens (or lenses being to heavy and breaking away from the plastic tubes) I didn't want to cheap out. These tubes are just hollow plastic tubes. They connect to the camera on one end (just like your lenses do) and to the lens of your choice on the other end. Basically, the tubes put distance between your lens and the mirror of your camera. You can use all of the included tubes (3 of them) together or any combination you choose. At first, I tried this with my 14mm wide angle lens. I never got it to work....I only saw black even with the camera pointed towards the sun in full daylight. After I Googled the problem, I came to the conclusion that you can not go too small or it doesn't work (I never tried it again with the 14mm). Next, I tried it with my nifty fifty and it was soooo exciting. It worked! You have to been close up to your subject to focus...if you try to dial in something across the room with the tubes installed all you will see is blur. Put something right in front of it and it will pop into view. I did find out very quickly that I would not be able to hand hold the camera and get sharp shots very often. A flash could help (even in broad daylight) possibly, but I didn't want to use one. Instead, I opted to use longer exposures to get the pictures. My 50mm usually requires about 1.5 feet to focus but with all of the extension tubes tacked on, I was able to get within an inch of my subject. The area in focus using my setup was very slim...if the camera move half a millimeter I lost the focus. If the wind blew the flower, I lost the focus. If I swayed with the camera, I lost the focus. Basically, the field of focus is VERY narrow (I will practice more and try wider apertures to hopefully remedy this). I have a full size semi-professional tripod. It can not get any closer to the ground than about 2 feet. This is way to far of a distance for my camera to focus with the tubes installed (think a couple of inches at most from your subject...not feet). To get the camera closer to the ground and my subjects (ants and flowers) I attached an articulating arm to a cheaper, smaller tripod and added a small ball head. I was able to bend it, adjust it and rotate it until I could focus on my subject. I frankensteined it together and it was awkward because sometimes the camera would end up completely upside down and I was trying to compose through the viewfinder (next time I plan to attach my tablet to use as a monitor). This is my first experience using the Kenko's. I think things will only go up from here! I did just receive a macro focusing rail in the mail today and I am waiting for a macro tripod to be delivered this week also. I think with the right equipment I can get truly stunning results. I think that if you are a beginner macro enthusiast like me, you should definitely get these to learn with before dropping $800-$1200 on a dedicated macro lens. I would also recommend that you buy a mini tripod (one that can get on the ground level or practically ground level) if you plan to capture things that are low. Also different lenses will allow you to be farther away and use these. My last tip would be to use a wireless remote to release the shutter (or wired shutter release) or your cameras timer to release the shutter. This will reduce camera movement and picture blur. I also tried a few shots with my kit lens and the images were fine. I really like these tubes and I would purchase them again. I would also recommend these to a friend. I am attaching the pictures that I took on my first time out with these tubes. No previous experience so blame me, not the tubes for any ugly blur ;) Narrow depth of field is great though, in my humble opinion.

I can't say I've used these much yet, but I have tested them out with both light and heavy AF and AF-S lenses to see how well they fit together, support weight, "flex", and otherwise perform. With one, two, or all three rings and a relatively small lens that you'd likely use with this camera (such as a AF-S f/1.8 prime) everything feels solid, no flexing, and AF-S (motor in lens) autofocus works fine. No issues noted at all. Everything OK. Placing all three rings and a Nikkor 80-300mm AF-S zoom lens on the camera (probably the heaviest one I have), I can discern some slight flexing between the rings if I don't support the weight of the lens, but I'm not sure it's really enough to have much effect on image quality, and the rings aren't terribly useful with this sort of lens anyway. (I'm unlikely to actually use this lens with them; I just attached it for weight testing.) Autofocus still works just fine on the 80mm-300mm AF-S with all three rings. No electronic failures or other problems noted. I also attached a heavy, fast, glass-laden Nikkor 35mm-70mm AF f/2.8D lens with all three rings. I set the lens to 70mm, hit autofocus, and the autofocus screw drive worked through all three rings (though it was sounding a bit taxed) and the camera was able to autofocus on a subject. As with the 80-300mm there was a tiny bit of flex in the rings, but I'd call it barely noticeable. Though the screw drive seemed to work OK with all three rings and the heavy 35-70mm f/2.8 AF, the mechanical thing that keeps the lens aperture open until shutter release seemed to be having some problems. Several times, the viewfinder went dark (as though it were in DoF preview) and the camera shut itself off probably as some sort of failsafe. To recover I had to switch the camera off and back on again. This happened 5 or 6 times but the problem seems to have stopped after I jiggled the rings and lens around a bit to try to loosen up the linkages. So basically, I feel that these extension tubes are perfectly good for typical applications with AF-S lenses. I'm not sure it's a good idea to use all three rings with a heavy AF lens, though. One or two might be OK, or maybe these things just aren't that reliable with mechanical linkage focus/aperture AF lenses. At the moment this isn't a big issue for me though as I don't really plan to use them with AF lenses, and I have a real macro lens that I use the vast majority of the time. Overall, I'm sure these extension tubes are OK for the money if you're using AF-S lenses. For all I know, most AF lenses might be OK too (maybe this one, the only one I have, is just really heavy or there's something odd about it), but I have much lower confidence in their suitability for AF lenses. Heavy lenses + all three rings may be a problem but I don't know for sure because I haven't actually tested image quality very thoroughly to know if there's any significant tilt introduced by what feels like a slight flexing. I'm not sure how they compare to the official Nikon extension tubes. For all I know it's possible that those have some of the same problems and aren't much better. If in doubt, and you need to use AF lenses, I'd say get the Nikon rings. (Also: Some people have stated that they feel the rings are very poorly constructed. Well, I can't compare because I haven't seen any other ones to compare them to, but keep in mind that the "rattling parts" in the rings are supposed to move freely and are not an indication of things coming apart inside the rings.)
