- I wanted to purchase a cheap set of extension tubes for macro photography. I came upon this set. Does it work?
Some macro photography tips for you, too.

Nice straight forward. Just stumbled on these randomly in the google hole and was lucky that your video came up first. Quick eassy to understand info. Thank you.
Great video learned a lot about all the possibilies to achieve macros
One of the most informative videos on this subject ever.
Wonderful!!!
woww nice!!
Some very nice. Macro pics
Beautiful ❤️
Thanx for share
stay connected...
Very Good video - extension tubes are the best bang for the buck - contacts and metal mounts are recommended...
Agreed. I did really enjoy using the Canon 180mm macro, but it's really expensive for a type of photography I don't do often.
@@edverosky A good macro even an old manual one and some extension tubes make a good combination...
Great video Ed. I have a set of tubes without any electrical contacts because, like you, I wasn't going to try and let the camera autofocus BUT I very quickly found that I am limited to always shooting at the widest aperture for whatever lens I'm using - I have no way of stopping down to squeeze a tad more depth of field in to my image; bit of a limitation ;-).
Yeah, that's true. I know that on my Canon lenses I used to be able to stop them down, pull them off the camera and they'd stay stopped down while off (I'm hoping I'm remember this correctly). But I haven't tried this with my Sony lenses.
If you put the aperture you want and then remove the lense without turning off the camera the aperture will stay at the value you set it. Then just add the extension tubes and shoot. But if you want the metadata you need contacts.
Hi i got a question. Could you use these extenders in conjunction with teleconverters? so...say if you have a Sony 135mm f1.8, stick on the extension tubes on the back, then stick on the teleconverter to the extension tubes. to give you extra reach...would that be possible? Thanks
Is the metal mount of Meike Extension Tube strong? Thx
For a canon,100mmLf2.8 IS, super macro for Canon MP-E 65 5:1 , for Olympus the 60mm Macro f2.8,a gem of a lens, couple this with the Raynox 250 DCR the combination gives outstanding images. Forget the rings and go full macro, you won't regret it, oh and don't forget the closer you get the more light you need.
Good stuff! Thanks, Gary.
What lens did you use
Will the minimal focus distance change using these or does it only effect the Lens FoV?? I.E can I get closer to my subject, I'm using a Sony 85mm 1.8 and it has a significant focus distance.
sweet :)
Good review. really helps. i have subscribed..Hi.. my question is.. Can a 1.2 ratio macro lens take a picture as1.1 ratio if i use extension tube..Thanks if you can advise.. I am using sigma 17mm - 70mm macro lens that 1.2 ratio..
yes it can, but you will need to do some research about how many millimeters you will need to add to make it go from 1:2 to 1:1
Sir, I use the manual Sony Mirrorless Extension Tube, I tried but the F (Aperture) error. I'm using a Sony a5100, can you help?
Thanks! Great video. In your opinion it would make sense o buy two sets and stack them together in order to have a stronger macro effect?
Yes, to a point. It can to the point where the lens is actually touching the subject and it’s hard to get the proper lighting.
thanks
Hi! I heard that metal mount version of these would damage my sony camera mount over time, is that true?
no, the mounts on lenses are metal as well so this should have no impact
Hey thanks for this! how does it affect sharpness for you?
it probably will drop sharpness a bit but it shouldn’t be much. especially since you are up close the image will still look quite sharp with higher mp cameras
Hi Ed, hope you're still looking at the messages. Wondering if you would know what's the magnification you get with these tubes. Is 1:1 or close enough? Thanks a lot
Definitely get 1:1 with something like this.
If your lens has a motorised manual focus, you'll need the pins for any focusing except moving the camera.
i have had a complete failure of the neewer ones, the 21 broke apart between sigma 100-400 and two x2 converters, while they worked and focused great i would not recommend them for heavy expensive stuff.
fortunately it broke apart while the system was on my table transferring images.
i purchased canon ones instead
can i use my 85mm here
Do you think is possible to scan negatives with these tubes and a 24-70 lens?
I think it's possible without macro tubes, watch this great tutorial to do it! ua-cam.com/video/FEKqd9LyOVM/v-deo.html
@@amritpalbharajvideoproduction Great, thanks for the video!
Great Video, many thanks.
Now that you have been using it for a while, what result has it given you?
A customer has commented on Amazon that he has scratched the camera contacts.
Any similar problem or whatever ...?
Many thanks
I have had no problems with this.
Ed Verosky Thanks 🙏🙏
You mean this macro tube does work on any zoom lenses!
For focus stacking then AF is important..
no you don't need auto focus for stacking you focus on the front of your subject and then using your camera on a focus rail you move it closer each frame lets say 1mm per shot until you have covered your subject
Forget the extensions tubes as well. Once you put a heavy lens (Sony 90mm) on it, the connectors lose contact and aperture control (and focus if used) are gone. Perhaps a bellow is the better alternative but I didn´t test it out yet.
To be honest: buy a macro lens and accept the fact that 1:1 is what you can get out of your lens with good quality. Once you go further the quality will become poorer. It will still work out for science but not for a quality photographic work.
Longer focal lengths don’t benefit as much with tubes. And definitely go with a good macro lens if you can. I loved the Canon 180mm; it allows you to get incredible macro at a useful distance. The bellows I’ve tried didn’t result in great images and are a hassle to use. Thanks!
They work perfectly! Just got a few today and I can see the pores on my dick. It's amazing.
