Fotodiox Macro Extension
Tube Set for Canon EOS

• Easy to Use
• Use Existing Lenses
• Metal Enclosure
• 3 Set Filter Extension
• Create Professional Macro Photography

A macro extension tube

is a wonderful substitute for expensive macro lenses. It maintains the original optical quality while transforming the lens into a macro lens. It works much better than a screw-on close-up filter lens, which will alter the optical quality of the image. This extension tube will work with all Canon EOS cameras, digital or film.

The Kit Includes:

• Camera Mount Coupling Adapter Ring

• Lens Mount Coupling Adapter Ring

• 7mm, 14mm and 28mm Tube Extensions

5.0 out of 5 stars A nice buy, works just how it should! September 20, 2010

At this price, why not give macro a try? Do a little research first since it's not exactly and plug and play accessory for the camera, but they really aren't tough to use and can get exactly the same result as the name brand tubes costing 10 to 20 times more. The main thing to keep in mind is that you lose autofocus as and you lose aperture control, otherwise it's just adding air space so there's not really much difference when you step up in cost. If you need to set you aperture, use the DOF trick. Just set your aperture and then press the DOF preview button. Then keep holding it down while you release the lens and it stays set. As far as focus, manual isn't as bad as you'd think for non-moving subjects.

As far as the product itself, it's pretty nice for the price. Doesn't have the finely machined feel of an expensive lens or filter, but it's not cheap junk either. The threads all turn smoothly with no resistance, and the lens and camera mounts fit tightly.

And as a final note, don't even think about trying to use this without off camera lighting. Even in daylight, the pics will likely turn out underexposed when focused in this closely unless you have some extra lighting to hold up to the subject. The on camera flash is useless when you're focused on something half an inch away from your lens as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Macro Shots December 3, 2010

I started to use my Canon Rebel T2i (550D) with the 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS macro lens to take some close up shots, they were OK.
But after using this product am completely sold unto macro photography. with the three rings attached I was able to get much closer than the lens could on its own
and I was pretty amazed at the details... WOW.
Attaching the tube to the camera and lens was easy and surprisingly quick. However, ever removing it from the camera body was a challenge until I figured out that you have to push up the little pin while unscrewing the thing. I wish there was some sort of written instructions with it in the box. But once you figure that out its a breeze and an absolute pleasure using. One thing though you must use some external flash source for illumination, an external flash provided all the light I needed and the results were fantastic.

If you are new to this type of photography this is definitely worth the price, plus its made from aluminum so its gonna last a while.
