Extension Tubes

[Dennis]

Well, I have been thinking of getting extension tubes for the Nikon gear, as I don't want to got out and send the money on a macro lens just yet. The good thing is that both Lynn and I can use them with our gear.

I ordered extension tubes and will try them out this weekend. I got the canon and will use my nikon macro with nikon to canon adaptor along with the tubes

I've been setting up a new rig for macro this past week, birds are drying up for the summer. Working on a new flash bracket setup. I'd hoped to try it out this weekend, but as usual RAIN in the forecast!! Already have extension tubes I have the cheap kenko brand. They are basically empty toilet paper rolls with lens connectors so no need to go name brand.

I am not really interested in macro photography. I had tubes and even bellows for my old film camera, but could not get into it. I guess cause I am not a small detail kind of guy. I don't have patience for small and fiddly

Which ones did you get from Canon, I've still got to look into this and maybe after here I will see what they have for Nikon.

I hear you Glen, but as long as they do the job that is the main thing, and it wants to pour at there but yet to do it... Seems that the weekends are common with rain thus far.

Don, I just want them to shoot some flowers without going out and getting a macro lens, and maybe a few other things. Just some thing differnent to do when the birds are not around.

I am sorry, I meant to say I got the Kenko set for Canon camera that I will use my Nikon 60mm macro lens with the Nikon to Canon adapter on my Canon 40D

It seem that I will have to get the same, as Nikon only has an old version of tubes, so they say that I need the DG version of them and will check into these next week.

Lol!! Couldnt stop laughting at your expression. Man, how easy it would have been if could us toilet rolls and save 25o bucks.
But I agree strongly with you glen, no need to spend a lot for these tubes. I am really happy with kenko.
