Fotodiox Pro Auto Macro Extension Tube for Nikon Z-Mount Mirrorless Cameras are automatic tubes that communicate all electronic functions from the lens to camera, including auto-focus and auto-exposure. Macro extension tubes are a wonderful alternative to expensive macro lenses. Macro extension tubes maintain the original optical quality while transforming the normal lens into a macro lens. By placing distance between your camera body and lens, focusing distance is shortened and the effect of magnifying your subject is created. Because no optical components are added into this extension tube, the image preserves the original optical properties of the lens.This is far more desired than the close-up lenses which are added to the front of the lens via filter thread, which alter the optical quality resulting in a blurry image full of artifacts. Adding an extension tube increases the effective aperture, reducing the amount of light entering the camera, which means you will need to use either a longer shutter speed or higher ISO to compensate for the loss of light. Your camera, if it's set to an automatic exposure mode, will take care of this automatically for you. Macro extension tubes are an affordable and simple way to turn any existing lens into a macro lens.

Fits perfectly on Canon macro lens. All metal construction. Solid.

Fits Like a Glove

Works well for the macro that I do. Using with a 50mm canon rf lens

Great product

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

Fotodiox 35mm macro extension tube

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 buy and quality

The Fotodiox extension tubes are just as good as the more expensive ones.

Good Quality!

Great

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 quality

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

Great product!

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.

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

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.

Good product!

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.

Great for the price

Macro

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.

Worth a try

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.

Finally - an extension tube for the RF lens mount

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.

Lightweight and Modular

Nicely made.  Still playing with it for my Macro shots.  Seems fairly solid construction.

Nice

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

Careful what you ask for.

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

Great Macro Tube for the X1D

The best tube ever for macro photography it is amazing what this can do.

The best tube ever

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