The Micro Four Thirds Manual Extension Tube Set consists of three different sized extension tubes that fit between a Micro Four Thirds camera and lens to enable greater magnification.
An extension tube is a spacer that sits between your lens and the camera body to alter the MFD (Minimum focus distance). The MFD of a lens is a measurement of the closest point a subject can be from the camera’s sensor, whilst still being able to focus. If a subject is closer to the sensor than a lens’ MFD, you cannot focus on that subject.
The more extension tubes used on a lens, the higher the lens magnification becomes as you’re able to move the lens much closer to the subject and still achieve focus. This means that any lens can be used to achieve macro-like photos.
highlights
- Fits between the camera and lens to give a greater magnification
- This set allows for up to seven different extensions
This set is supplied with three different sized extension tubes - 7mm, 14mm and 28mm - that give a total of up to seven different extensions. The longer the extension, the greater the magnification.
The Extension Tube Set is mounted between the camera body and the camera lens by attaching the included front and rear bayonets. Once attached, the three different sized extension tubes simply screw-in.
important
This Extension Tube Set allows for manual use only, meaning lenses with no aperture ring can only be used at full aperture.
