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 quality

It does what it is supposed to do It was well presented and is a quality build It can be a little tricky sliding it off when used for a time with heavier lenses That why it only got four stars It works better with smaller primes and it says that in its advertising A real find as an addition to my Hasselblad kit

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.

Great Macro Tube for the X1D

By Curtis G.

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

Under the banner of cost-effective and versatile photography solutions, the Fotodiox Macro Extension Tube Set stands out as an essential tool for Olympus 4/3 (OM4/3 or 4/3) mount mirrorless camera enthusiasts looking to delve into the world of extreme close-up photography. This set is ingeniously designed to transform nearly any lens into a macro lens, allowing photographers to capture intricate details of tiny subjects without the hefty investment typically associated with specialized macro lenses.

Crafted with precision, the set includes a camera mount coupling adapter and a lens mount coupling adapter, both of which can be utilized separately or in conjunction with the extension tubes to achieve varying levels of magnification. The adaptability of this system ensures that photographers can tailor their setup to the specific requirements of each macro photography session.

The extension tubes, which come in three different sizes, can be stacked to fine-tune the magnification effect. This flexibility enables users to achieve life-size reproduction and beyond, bringing the minute intricacies of their subjects into sharp focus. The beauty of the Fotodiox Macro Extension Tube Set lies in its simplicity; it does not introduce any additional optical elements into the light path, thereby maintaining the inherent sharpness and color fidelity of the original lens.

Moreover, the extension tubes work by effectively reducing the minimum focusing distance of the lens, thereby magnifying the subject while ensuring that the lens retains its original optical quality. This approach not only preserves the lens's resolution and contrast but also allows for the full use of the camera's autofocus and exposure capabilities, depending on the lens and camera compatibility.

This macro extension tube set is an invaluable addition to any Olympus 4/3 system photographer's kit, offering an affordable and straightforward method to explore the fascinating realm of macro photography with the lenses they already own. Whether capturing the delicate veins of a leaf, the intricate patterns on an insect's wings, or the subtle textures of everyday objects, the Fotodiox Macro Extension Tube Set for Olympus 4/3 mount mirrorless cameras is the gateway to a world of microscopic beauty.
