Fotodiox MacroTube-Auto-NKZ15 Pro Automatic Macro Extension Tube, 15mm Section - for Nikon Z-Mount MILC Cameras for Extreme Close-up Photography

Description

This Auto Macro Extension Tube is an automatic tube that communicates all electronic functions from the lens to camera, including auto-focus and auto-exposure. Macro extension tubes are a wonderful alternative to expensive macro lenses. By placing distance between your camera body and lens, focusing distance is shortened and the effect of magnifying your subject is created. Because no optical components are added into this extension tube, the image preserves the original optical properties of the lens. Adding an extension tube increases the effective aperture, reducing the amount of light entering the camera, which means you will need to use either a longer shutter speed or higher ISO to compensate for the loss of light. Macro extension tubes are an affordable and simple way to turn any existing lens into a macro lens. Nikon Z-Mount Mirrorless Camera such as: Z7, Z6, Z50 Notes: * Extension tubes work best with short to medium focal lengths, they are less effective with telephoto lenses * Extra magnification also magnifies camera shake as well as the subject, tripod use is recommended * Be sure to use the smallest aperture (largest number) on your lens to give you adequate depth-of-field for better quality images * Different lens lengths will require a different distance to be used from the subject, if the subject is not in focus move the camera closer or further from the subject until the subject comes into focus * The effectiveness of extension tubes decreases as focal length increases. You will need to be careful when working with extreme wide-angle lenses as the focusing distance required may be closer to the lens than physically possible (ie you'd hit the front lens element before you achieve focus) * All pictures are for illustration purposes only. Actual product may vary slightly due to ongoing improvements in design. Review: it does the job it's intended for and looks great as well. - This is my second Fotodiox adapter, and both are perfect. My main requirement of any adapter is that it be machined to close tolerance for a tight fit on both sides, and this meets that criterion. The pass-through electronics also seem correct - I've tested with several lenses and adapters, and find auto-focus and exposure perform as expected, and exit data are returned correctly. In addition to being functional, this adapter has the look and feel of quality. It looks right at home between my $2500 camera and the $1500 lens currently mounted.. Great product! Review: works fine - It's a good fit, feels solid, and works as expected with the Z6 and 24-70 lens. AF and aperture control are as expected. It comes in a padded wooden box, which would have been nice, except that whatever it's padded with has a very disagreeable smell. I'll let the box sit in the garage for a few weeks and maybe it will be ok.
