At this price, why not give macro a try? Do a little research first since its not exactly and plug and play accessory for the camera, but they really arent 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 its just adding air space so theres 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 isnt as bad as youd think for non-moving subjects. As far as the product itself, its pretty nice for the price. Doesnt have the finely machined feel of an expensive lens or filter, but its 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, dont 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 youre focused on something half an inch away from your lens as well.

This product is amazing and returns astonishing macro results. The pictures are proof, and for the price why wouldnt you want to buy this product? I use a Canon 70D Ethan had an EF mount. The lens mount piece locks into place and the camera fram mount also locks into place. I achieved the below results with a 50mm lens and all extensions attached. The liquid in the cup is carbonated water. Since these extension tubes do not have the electrical connections, you will need to mount your lens to your camera and set the apature to the largest setting. Then, turn off your camera, mount the extension tubes to your lens and then to your camera. Now you are ready! Get as close as you can to your subject then back away slowly and manually focus the lens. A tripod is recommended to reduce camera shake for obvious reasons. The quality of the extension tubes are great! No flaws in the metal. Dont miss this opportunity for macro photography without having to invest in an expensive lens!

I have a 75 - 300mm Canon lens and this allows me to simulate a 600mm lens. A friend with a Tamron 150 - 600mm lens and I shot the same subject at the same time (same white balance, lighting, ISO and shutter speed) with remarkably similar results. She told me later she wishes she had not spent the ~$900 on the lens and had gotten this device instead.

Let me preface this by saying that I thoroughly enjoy photography as a hobby. It goes without saying that it can become an expensive hobby. But Im the type of person who believes its more about the skill than the fancy equipment. I figure if I can somehow teach myself to take decent pictures with as little cost as possible, then maybe I can truly understand and appreciate the art of photography. Enter macro photography. I saw pictures of snowflakes that were absolutely mesmerizing and I just KNEW I wanted to try my hand at macro photography. After seeing that the Canon macro lens runs around $1,000 and several failed attempts at getting a cheap $30 lens attachment to produce adequate results, I decided to give these extension tubes a shot. By the time I stumbled across these and purchased them, the last snowfall had already passed. Its spring in Wisconsin, so Ive been practicing on all the sprouting buds in my backyard. I am amazed by the results. Will it take practice? Of course. I didnt even realize how to keep the depth of field selected on a lens while removing it before I tried these tubes. But I think you absolutely cannot go wrong here, especially considering the cost. I am definitely satisfied with this product and will recommend it to anyone who really wants to dig in and understand the world of macro photography. For reference, I shoot on a Canon rebel t3i and used my Canon 55-250 lense for these shots.

Bought it for my Canon Rebel SL1 and works perfectly with the stock 18-55mm IS STM EF-S & optional 55-250mm IS STM EF-S lens. Completely locks into the camera body, both lens lock in all the way and all contacts are making the connection. IS and AF works perfectly. Turns my 250mm into a 500mm and really dont need a tripod because the IS feature still works. Pics come out sharp, perfect. Really no loss in resolution when you edit, zooming in and cropping. I use it on sunny days taking pictures of birds & other small critters. Fantastic resolution, colors in detail. Noticed all the others only work with the EF and not the EF-S series of lens. This one does both, perfectly. Fantastic price too. Ordered it on a late Saturday and was in my mail box early Monday morning. As always, Amazon has great shipping.

This is one of my main photography tools now. I coupled this teleconverter with a 55-250mm IS lens and it does a wonderful job! I use this teleconverter on a crop sensor SL1 (100d) and it functions perfectly. The only complaint I have with it is that autofocus only works in live view, however IS and all other settings work perfectly! love this thing! Full metal Construction too.
