Questions & Answers

david p : Does the Olympus digital extension tub ex-25 fit a micro four third lens and on-d em-1 camera body?Joseph R : No, the ex-25 supports the four-thirds lens mount. It does not support the micro four-thirds mount.KELLY H : I don't think it does. I use it on my E-5 with the 50mm macro. I would go to the Olympus website and ask that or call them.LAURENCE O : It only can be used on the E3 & E5 bodies. I think this lens & tube can be used on the on-d em-1 with an adapter.
JUDITH D : I have Olympus E510 with lenses 40-150mm and 14-42mm would this work with either of these lenses? and how do you connect it with them?Joseph R : Here is a link to Olympus' manual for the EX-25: http://www.olympus.co.jp/en/support/imsg/digicamera/download/manual/esystem/man_ex25.pdf The manual does not list either of your lenses. However, it might still work for you. The EX-25 mounts to your camera, and the lens mounts to the EX25.LAURENCE O : I have never used it with other then the 50mm macro. It should work with any of their lens, but you might have to manual focus.KELLY H : Judy, this does work with your 510 and all the lenses. I have only used mine with my 50mm macro lens and is is awesome! The extension tube connects to your camera first then your lens attaches to the tube. Very easy set up!
Shopper : I would like to extend the distance for subject to camera using tripod and a Olympus digital ED 60mm f/2.8 macro lens. Is this macro extension tube an appropriate solution?WESLEY P : Extension tubes allow your lens to move closer to the subject, not farther away.LARRY Y : No the extension tube will cause you to move the lens closer to the subject.

Good quality extension tube,(take 2)

I can't find any way to edit my previous review which was in error so I'm writing another: This is a nice extension tube although pricy, much better build quality than the bargain ones. It preserves the weather sealing of other similar quality lenses. I have gotten good results on the 50-200mm though not true macro. At 200mm you can focus as close as 22" or so, covering an area of 2" x 1.5" which is good for insects, lizards etc. At 50mm the range of focus is very short, around 2" covering an area of 1.25" x .75". Focus with my E-1 is slow with my new E-M1 it is much faster and more accurate. The 50-200 with the ex25 and the MMF3 adapter is a pretty long assembly on the E-M1. I have also used this EX25 on the 14-54mm with good results although that lens is very close-focusing already so the difference is not as impressive. If your expectations are realistic you will probably be completely satisfied with this tube. I took off a star because of the high price.

Good Quality extension tube.

This is a nice extension tube although pricy, much better build quality than the bargain ones. It preserves the weather sealing of other similar quality lenses. I have gotten good results on the 50-200mm though nowhere near true macro (about 3" x 1.5"). At 200mm you can focus at about 6' which is good for insects, lizards etc. Focus with my E-1 is slow but I am looking forward to trying it with my new E-M1. The 50-200 with the ex25 and the MMF3 adapter is a pretty long assembly on the E-M1. I have also used this EX25 on the 14-54mm with good results although that lens is very close-focusing already so the difference is not as impressive. If your expectations are realistic you will probably be satisfied with this tube. I took off a star because of the high price.

Very handy accessory

I have used the EX-25 with all of my lenses with good results. It works as advertised. I normally use manual focus and manual exposure when shooting macro . However, I have used full auto exposure as well with equally good results.

Works well with pen cameras

You need this for Macro photography. This enables you to get really close. And to really do it correctly, you need a good tripod or support and maybe a focus rail for better control.

does the job well

Well made. Works great with 50mm f2 to get 1:1 ratio, and also great with the 50-200mm f2-3.5 to get 2:1 ratio (when at 200mm). Very useful addition for macro enthusiasts.

I'm shocked!!

I'm using it with my Zuikos 70-300mm and 50mm f/2. The last one is my favorite combo. Results are amazing.

Excellent accessory

Some claim you have to use manual focus with this, but I've found it autofocuses well in bright sunlight and the 40-150 kit lens (old one)
