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.

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)
