Fotodiox 35mm macro extension tube

It's well built and works fine. It takes some practice to mount fluidly to body.

Great buy and quality

Excelent build quality. All metal tube and front/back plates. No slop when attached like you find in low end brands. I used this on an R5 with a 100mm Macro lens. As asdvertsied there was 100% conrol of shutter speed and f. No noticible lag in focus speed vs without the tube.

Great product!

Awesome low cost macro solution. Works so well because it adds no additional glass to impact light.

Super basic all manual tubes that leave the lens mounted at a random angle.

These work okay as long as you are using them with a completely manual lens (no AF, no electronic data, no aperture coupling). The main downside is that, because the intermediate pieces screw together instead of with lens mounts, the lens on the front won't be upright. In theory this shouldn't be a huge deal since lens glass elements are circular, but some lenses (the Laowa 25mm comes to mind) have a rectangular opening in the back to cut down on reflections. With the lens mounted at a random angle, there will be vignetting in the corners.

Good product!

Haven’t REALLY put them to the test yet, but what I’ve seen from them so far is WAY better than just the plain lenses. Very nice build quality. “Stupid” (not electronically connected), so everything requires Manual settings and focus, but I don’t mind that.

Great for the price

Metal and comes in several stacks. The release button is a little stiff and the stacks keep unwinding when I twist the Unit, but the pictures were greatly enhanced on my macro shots and I expect the tube set will give me lots of life.

Worth a try

I used this with T3i and Canon 1.4 FD and liked the results. Sure you need a tripod and multiple clicks to find the perfect shot but it's worth it.

Finally - an extension tube for the RF lens mount

No problems at all with communication with my EOS R. Works great, good, tight fit with no light leaks or problems with fitment. I do wish the marks for lining up were a bit better. The only markings are on the faces of the extension tube; it would be nice if they were on the outside where they would be more visible.

Lightweight and Modular

This set of extension tubes works very well, a great option for inexpensive macro photography. It is very lightweight, which I wasn't expecting, and does not click into place as satisfyingly as the other Fotodiox adapters that I have used. The individual rings all fit together in whatever combination you can imagine which gives you many options for the total extension tube length.

Careful what you ask for.

It doesn't fit my camera. I asked if it would fit my camera and was told it would. Not much help.

Does what it's supposed to but does not have any contacts for lens controls. Best for lenses with manual controls.

Great Macro Tube for the X1D

By Curtis G.

Very well made, easy to use and autofocus works great.

Just when you thought your Hasselblad XCD mount mirrorless digital camera had reached its full potential, the Fotodiox Pro 48mm Automatic Macro Extension Tube opens up a new realm of macro photography possibilities. This high-quality, durable accessory is designed to seamlessly bridge your camera body and lens, enabling you to delve into the intricate details of close-up photography without the need for expensive macro lenses.

Crafted with precision, the Fotodiox Pro Extension Tube is engineered to maintain the original optical quality of your lens. By shortening the focusing distance, it magnifies your subject, allowing you to capture stunning, life-like details with ease. The extension tube's automatic functionality ensures that all electronic communications, such as auto-focus and auto-exposure, are flawlessly transmitted from the lens to the camera. This means you can continue to shoot with the convenience of your camera's automatic settings, even while exploring the macro universe.

The extension tube's compact and easy-to-use design is praised by photography enthusiasts for its versatility, particularly when paired with smaller prime lenses. Its quality build ensures that it can withstand the demands of both studio and field work, making it a reliable addition to your Hasselblad kit. While it is optimized for lighter lenses, users have found it to be a valuable tool across a range of focal lengths, offering more creative control over framing and composition.

Unlike close-up lenses that can degrade image quality, the Fotodiox Pro Extension Tube preserves the pristine clarity of your Hasselblad's lens, ensuring that your images remain sharp and free of artifacts. The extension tube does increase the effective aperture, which may reduce the amount of light reaching the sensor. However, your camera's automatic exposure mode is designed to compensate for this, adjusting the shutter speed or ISO as needed to achieve the perfect exposure.

Whether you're a professional photographer looking to expand your creative arsenal or an enthusiast eager to explore the world of macro photography, the Fotodiox Pro 48mm Automatic Macro Extension Tube for Hasselblad XCD Mount Mirrorless Digital Cameras is a smart, cost-effective solution. It's not just an accessory; it's an invitation to capture the world in breathtaking detail.
