Fotodiox Nikon Macro Extension Tube Kit for Nikon Cameras, Extreme Close-ups

Tube set is very good. Metal construction, not on flimsy side.Pros of extension tubes (in general) - - As no optics involved, only exposure drops, but quality is unaltered - Cheap compared to macro lens - Any nikon mount lens can be used - Stackable to increase magnificationCons of extension tubes (in general) - - These tubes can never match ease-of-use, quality and versatility of a macro lens - Very limited range of focus available (zoom-in/out to change focus area and that too is limited) When you put-on the tubes you can only shoot macro, no normal photos - Manual mode operation is a must - Needs to take great care while handling, especially when using with telephoto lens - You need to mount the rings and the lens on the camera, so in general your sensor is exposed to dust for more time - There is a learning curve, you need to be able to understand which/how many tubes in conjunction with which focal length will give you desired frame in focusPros of fotodiox - - Metal body, i used it with 18-55mm and Tamron SP 70-300 (~800gms) also, it holds good if properly supported - Light weight - Camera-side mount and lens-side mount both are goodCons of fotodiox - - Even though i said it is metal body, i can not use the word sturdy. i can only say not flimsy. One needs to provide hand support all the time in order to avoid any damage to rings, camera or lens. It never gave me full confidence when i put all the rings with my 70-300. I always supported my lens and camera with my hand Although it takes 18-55 or small primes very comfortably - No electrical connection for lens means no VC, no aperture control, no auto focus - Threads on the rings are fine pitch, if dust particles get caught up there, i believe it can damage the soft aluminium - The lens locks to the mount ring but the tube rings do not have lock. So, they tend to rotate while you are trying to adjust zoom ring or focus ring of lensOverall it is very good alternative, and i'm pleased with it.If used with proper care it can be a great tool for occasional macro shots.If you are very rough user, then probably this is not for you.One observation. There is a screw near lens mount (not silver one, that is for unmounting the lens) which opens the aperture lever of lens when mounted. Later, i'm going to remove it and see if i can lower the aperture (for greater DOF)

I'll give 4 out of 5 because of not so good built quality. I dislike reverse mounting ring because I can not afford to put coating of the back element of lens to any danger. I dont like closeup lenses because of noticeable reduction of speed and quality. This extension is doing good for my Nikon D5100, only point is that it functions in manual mode. It functions very good with 50mm main lens rather than the kit zoom lens. With just one thin ring adopter in between I am using the rest of the extension tube of my Pentax K mount. I prefer personally my Pentax 50mm main lens because of the way Nikkor and Pentax differ in manual focusing. Pentax has split image Parallax technique and Nikkor is grain based. At micro level longer the tube, lesser is the depth of field so precise focus is the main issue. If you are an experienced photographer, you will prefer to override the electronics of the camera as you would like to click the way you want. In that case this tube shall give you more than the amount you pay, for entry levels with such a little amount you shall get a great learning, that too without any fear of damaging your costly lens.

Very good build quality. It is a construction with several rings and the ring that attaches to the lens has a screw which opens the lens aperture to lowest f-stop possible on the lens (this is to allow maximum light to cameras sensor). Folks with AF lens (with manual aperture control ring) can remove this screw and manually adjust the aperture (this is required for wider depth of field). Folks with AF-S (CPU controlled aperture) won't have control over DoF.At certain angles of camera alignment to the light source, the huge amount of light reflections inside the tube spoil the shot.Verdict: best suits AF lens, and for shots with tripod.

plz dont buy this product its not working and sending back still amount is not refand

For starters, anyone trying for macro photography and cant afford a macro lense, this is a good option. It doesn't offer auto focus so once had to rely on manual focus. But then even with a good macro lense professionals use manual focusing. I would suggest using a tripod as you require slow shutter speed. Also try to click under the sun. For indoors one would require a good speedlight. I use a NIKON D3300 with kit lense and the photos wete quite ok. I have posted a few sample pics also. I use both the 18-55mm kit nikon kit lense and the 70-300 mm telephoto kit lense. I preferred the telephot lense as it allowed me to zoom in from a distance, thus not disturbing the subject. A spider in this case. I would suggest begginers to try it. I gave it a 3 star only because it doesnt have auto focus. A good buy.

Yes the product was delivered on time. The quality of the product is good. Metallic body and sturdy. Fits well with my Nikon D5200. It is an alternative to macro lens and it takes time to adjust to how it works but gives the deaired output.

It is not working properly with my camera and lens. Nikon D5500 with 18-140mm, after connecting with lens reversal.For other camera and lens, I can't say. But for the camera and lens mentioned above, not recommended. Though it fits in, quality vanished.

I am VERY new to photography and found the device to be great for me as a beginner and should work as well for a professional. This tube set is for manual focus only. There is another set that has auto focus connectors for a few $ more, but I opted for manual focus so I could learn manual focusing on the fly. I have no complaints about this tube set. I ordered it on Monday and had it by Tuesday Morning. I called Fotoiox before I purchased it and got a CS rep on the phone within 3 minutes to confirm these would work with my camera.I found the parts locked together firmly. I have seen some reviews commenting on flimsy or weak connections, but I did not find the product to be weak or flimsy. I also mounted a Nikon 70mm-300mm and I did not feel the large lens would fall off... Just be sure to properly align the tube adapter to the camera correctly. The adapter will marry up to the camera in two different positions, but only one position will lock the adapter in place as it should be. If you attach the adapter to the camera and you dont hear the pin click into place, you are in the wrong position. The same goes for the marrying of the adapter to your lens. There are two positions that the lens will attach, but only one of them you can hear the pin click into place assuring the lens is locked.I used these tubes with:1. Nikon D3200 and my D3300 (I purchased this in 2015 for about $350.00)2. Nikon Nikor AF 50mm 1:1.8 D (I purchased this in 2015 for about $50.00)Things I had to learn while using this device:1. I had a small mishap (on my part) and had to call back after I used the device and tried to disassemble the parts. Beware! the small silver pin on the adapter that attaches to your lens slides in order to unlock and remove the lens. The instructions were not that clear. I called CS and again, was on the line with a rep in less than 3 minutes. He stated 40% of people call in because they dont understand how to slide the pin to remove the adapter from their lens.2. The lens I used to take the attached photos has manual focus and manual aperture control. The adapter plate that attaches your lens to the tube has a small screw on the sidewall of the adapter tool that will hold your aperture wide open. You have to remove the screw to allow the manual aperture to be changed.Finally, I love the device. The attached photos are my first time ever taking Macro type photos and I grabbed a dead mosquito in my garage as the model. I placed the mosquito on a blue business card and started snapping. Im sure with a better lens and flash, my pics would be better, but for my learning, I will use these tubes for years to come and just buy better lens as time goes on.

Sem queixas.

Wow. Superb product. I have nikon d7500 with sigma 18-200 mm lens and it perfectly fits. I attached a sample picture of my kidney stone. That's 0.7cm in size. Thank you!!!

Serve it’s purpose as supposed!

Nice quality, fits the camera and lens properly, threads between sections well machined and clean.Exactly what I was looking for to photograph printed circuit boards.
