Extnp Auto Focus Macro Extension Tube Set (12mm 20mm 36mm) for Nikon AF AF-S DX FX SLR Cameras

UPDATE:I am changing my rating to 5. The picture of the grasshopper was taken in the wild with all three tubes on a Nikon D810 with a Nikon 80-400mm lens on manual focus. These tunes are sturdy and supports my heavy lens just fine. For the price they are great. They work. However you need to learn how to use them if you have not used extension tubes before. The BAD: - The 12mm tube is broken. Amazon promptly replaced the set. Now everything works. ***AMAZON REPLACED THEM WITH NO QUESTIONS ASKED. THE NEW TUBES WORKS FINE. - When I use more than one tube the autofocus does not work. It searches and on rare occasions will lock on but the shutter will not release. *** DON'T USE AUTOFOCUS. IN TIME IT WILL ANNOY YOU SO BAD. MANUALL FOCUS IS MORE RELIABLE EVEN ON A MACRO LENS THAT HAS AUTOFOCUS. The build quality: They do not feel cheap to me. But they are plastic with metal bits that connect them together. I have one pretty heavy lens and I support the camera by the lens just to be safe. Dropping a $100.00 lens is not funny and I am not going to take that chance. However these extension tubes do feel pretty solid. THEY EASILY SUPPORTS A 3+ POUND LENS. I HAVE BEEN USING IT ALL TAY AND I HAD NO ISSUES. The good: - That price. Yep that price and that they work really well except the do not autofocus w\as promised. - Image quality. Judge for yourself. This is what I got. Your experience may differ depending on a lot of factors. - Build quality. For plastic they are solid and holds even my heavy 80-400mm lens. However I do support the camera by the lens because the lens is heavy. Final thoughts: You really don't want to use autofocus when doing macro photography. So manual focus is better. therefore I really cannot find any real fault with these extension tubes.

Good product. Great intro to macro photography. Feels a little cheap but have had no issues with attachment. I swap them out a lot when trying for different magnification levels and they seem like they will hold up. I have not tried other brands but at this price point I assume they are all about the same. They work fine with AF/metering on my D7000 even when using all 3 and I have not had any weird behavior so far. Definitely get a set like this one that has the AF/metering connections. With this set and a standard 50mm prime lens you can get some very close shots. You can also use these with a dedicated macro lens to get even more magnification. A couple tips for this setup: You will move the camera instead of the focus ring in order to change focus so manual focus mode is recommended. Depth of field is extremely shallow - a tripod is very helpful unless you have very stable hands. For static subjects it helps to have a focusing rail, otherwise you can just move the camera slightly and take a bunch of shots. "Live View" mode is very helpful in focusing since you can set the aperture high and still see your DoF/focus on the screen. If you are going for a "budget macro" photo setup, I'd recommend you also pick up a reversing ring and aperture control set for another 30 bucks or so. For extreme close-ups you may need to use "focus stacking" software like Zerene Stacker to produce the images you want. This is a solid alternative to an expensive dedicated macro lens and I am very happy with it.

I bought these because I was interested in trying out macro photography and didn't want to drop a couple hundred dollars on a lens. At $40, these were a great way to start. They work as advertised, and I haven't had any issues with auto focus on any of the lenses with which I have used them. I've tried it with my Nikon 35 mm prime lens, my Yongnuo 50 mm prime lens, and the two kit lenses that came with my camera. I attached the 70 mm - 300 mm lens to all three tubes and autofocus worked fine. Build quality is decent. They're plastic, but sturdy. The prime lenses are a bit tight when attaching, but they do click into place. The releases are OK, but it did take a little to get used to them. The first attached picture is a focus-stacked (4 images) shot of a coffee bean. I used my 35 mm lens with the 36 mm tube to get an almost 1:1 shot. I know it's a bit off in a couple of areas, but this was handheld and I was really just looking to see if the tubes worked as advertised. I'm happy to say they do. The second is taken with the 70 mm - 300 mm zoom lens at 300 mm using all three tubes.

These worked great for close up macros. The construction feels a little bit cheap, but they are basically just plastic tubes. I've seen some people complain about problems with focusing. These do have the right connections for focusing if your lens has a focusing motor in it. That being said, when you are trying to take really close in photos, you'll probably be better off using manual focus. My camera tried to focus, and sometimes it succeeded but I had better luck with manual focus. Your focusing range will also depend on your lens' focal length. It took some experimentation to figure out which tubes to use depending on the focal length and how close you want to get to your subject. If you have the wrong tube(s) for your lens/distance combination, you will not be able to focus on your subject regardless of whether you use manual or auto focus. I was using these with a Nikon d3100. It isn't always really obvious where to line these up when connecting them, but once you get it right, they connected to the camera and the lens without any problems. If I had a better lens or camera I might think about looking for an extension tube that wasn't mostly plastic, but it is hard to beat these at this price.

Adapter works, but it broke the second time I used it and become impossible to remove from my zoom lens. I guess I now have a permanent macro lens, which is far less useful than having a zoom lens. This low quality item just cost me several hundred dollars in a ruined lens.

I am so impressed with this product. I did think it would work as well as it does. Gives you super clear macro shots, you can choose how close you want to go by changing the tubes. Also you can use Auto Focus with these tubes. I love them and use them when every I want to take macro photos. I have added some of my photos I've taken with the tubes. Saves you over a $1.000 on a macro lens. I would recommend these tubes to any one. I am using a Nikkor 18-55 lens with the tubes.
