So far all good easy to use and fit to camera and lens.This is a well made product and looks to give long service. Started with the prime 50mm which can give slightly over 1:1 then tried out one of my zoom lens which seems to comfortable around 100mm, not the same mag but allows some standoff. Added light will be needed in most cases as there will be a drop in light reaching the camera.

Build quality is great. Autofocus is awful on all 3 rings, compared to much cheaper alternative sets. I tried these, some Shoot extension tubes (poor build plastic mounts but cheap) and some Viltrox Z mount tubes + FTZ, with different Nikon and sigma lenses, side by side tests. These were the worst by a long way missing almost all shots of moving insects like bees and butterflies, They would not lock on the focus or were very slow and inaccurate missing almost every potential shot, in comparison to the other brands which worked very well on autofocus, getting fast and accurate autofocus on both brands. I cannot recommend these when there are much better extension tubes at a much lower cost.

I bought these tubes recently and they work fine. With these I can focus closer and achieve greater magnification with my fast prime lenses turning them into a makeshift macro lens which is great because they take up less space than my dedicated macro lens, making travelling with my camera easier. I also use these with my dedicated macro lens to achieve more than 1:1 magnification and closer focus. All in all, if you are into macro or thinking about trying it, these extension tubes are great tools to enhance your photography. They also maintain connection between the lens and camera so focusing and changing the aperture can be done through the camera.

I had a set of these Kenko extension tubes before when I was trying macro. I liked them so much that I bought a macro lens then sold the extension tubes. I rather regretted that because as well as turning any lens into a macro lens, they can also be great for using WITH a macro lens. You can then get extreme macro images, although you your field craft may need practising as the depth of field can become razor thin. A tripod may well be needed unless you have very steady hands. So I bought a new set. I went for Kenko as, although much more expensive than some extension tubes you can buy, they are good quality and give electrical connectivity between your lens and camera, something which I find very useful. Also, cheaper tubes of poorer quality can jam on the lens/camera, which can be very expensive. I've added a couple of images taken with the tubes and my 90mm macro lens to give you any idea. The bush cricket was about 3mm only and the spider about 7mm. The moss was tiny too but looks cool when taken with the macro lens and tubes, so you can see what can be achieved with care.Read full review

I thought I would try some macro-photography during lock-in and these generally get a good review. Having tried them they are great at getting really close to subjects with my Nikon 105 macro lens and work with the auto-focus system on my Nikon camera. Really good quality and in excellent used condition. Really pleased with them, they are great addition to my photographic equipment.
