KENKO KE-NAHDAFN DG 12/20/36 mm Adapter : These work fine. They are well made – not to the

Bought the set to use for macro shots. Work well but i’m still experimenting, in order to find the best combination of lens and the best size extension tube. Difficult to achieve sharp shots when camera is handheld – and insects on plants don’t stay still for very long.

The tubes were as described, arrived in good time and i am very pleased with them. I have used several brands in the past, including nikon’s own, and these are as good as any and better than most. Recommended supplier who i would use again.

These rings are excellent canon alternatives, plus you get a set of three (12mm, 20mm and 36mm) for the nearly the same price as a single canon 25mm ring. The build quality is excellent (made in japan); they are robust and have the same quality feel as canon’s own equipment and they give the reassuring clicking sound when being fitted. The 36mm ring has a comfortable grip at the base, meaning you can grip the tubes firmly when attaching/removing the lens (assuming you are using the 36mm tube). The release buttons are solid and feel like they will stand up to rigorous usage. All three rings are marked with the canon ef red and ef-s white dots to enable correct mounting with both types of lens. It also has the canon 35mm wet film red dot for those with compatible cameras. These rings enable the autofocus feature on compatible lenses to be used, another bonus, and the rings can be fitted in any combination. Even with my eos 700d 18-55mm `kit lens’ i was able to focus using all 3 rings, the area in focus was about 2cm (approx. 75″) and the lens was about 4cm (approx.

Cheaper than the canon alternative, but just as effective. Very happy with fit, form and function.

Work really well and give me that little bit extra on my 150mm macro.

I was looking for alternatives for macro work and like most i first priced up a macro lens and dismissed that option due to cost. I tried a screw on macro filter and had limited success with that, but could never seem to get the magnification i needed. After discussing with friends it appeared that extension tubes were the answer. I was shocked to find a wide variance in quality and cost between cheap chinese versions and the genuine canon originals. The answer after much online research was these, the kenco extension tube set dg. With three rings, 12mm, 20mm and 36mm which can be used in any combination to achieve image magnifications from 0. 47 with a standard 50mm lens the options are immense. I counted 14 different options.Auto exposure and focusing all work but i tend to use manual focusing for final adjustment, i suggest you do too for critical adjustment.

I bought this on advice from another user of the same item and it certainly ticks all the boxes for me; very well made, links all the existing camera data and works like a dream – plus, its much cheaper than the branded version.

I’ve not a big budget for tech, so this kit is extremely handy. The cost of good lenses is rather high, so this is a practical way to shoot around not having the macro lens i would really like. It’s solid and appears to be well crafted. I researched quite a few reviews before purchasing and everything i came across was positive.

• Well made and work very well.

• Kenko Teleplus DG AF Extension Tube 36+20+12 for Canon EOS

• Good with one caveat

Kenko KE-NAHDAFN DG 12/20/36 mm Adapter for Nikon AF Lens- Black

• Make sure this fits
  by entering your model number.
• Extension tubes are designed to enable a lens to focus closer than its normal set minimum focusing distance.
• Contains three tubes of different lengths – 12mm, 20mm, and 36mm
• Designed with all the circuitry and mechanical coupling to maintain auto focus and TTL auto exposure
• Can be used individually or combined
• Ideal for Macro photography

These are a good and fairly cheap way of increasing the magnification of lenses, and also reducing the minimum focus distance, as with all extension tubes. However, a word of caution – they will not take a lot of weight, as the internal construction is not all metal. I mounted a large lens (500mm), and accidentally knocked it over; when it hit an obstacle on the way down, the 12mm tube sheared right through, although the lens was unharmed. While the ends are metal, inside they are screwed into plastic. So while these will be fine for most uses, if you’re putting strain on them it may be best to go for the (e. Canon) own brand tubes, which while much moe expensive are apparently more solidly built.

I’m glad i paid the extra money for the kenko product as it feels robust and high quality. The contact plates are metal and the electrical contacts are built into the bodywork. The rings snap into place and the release latches feel secure and ‘clyde-built’. Using my aps-c canon 60d camera i achieve enormous magnification with just the 36mm tube. With the 24-105 lens attached, set to 105mm, the closest focussing distance can be too close. At about 3 or 4cm from the lens end, a 1 cent (euro) coin fills the frame top-to-bottom. I think this would be about 1. With the diaphragm control still connected to the camera you can play with the dof, well, a little. Focussing can still be done using the focus ring on the lens, but it can be fiddly so get right in the first place. I await a mag-slider so i can do the focussing by moving the camera body.

A very useful bit of kit to have in your bag. They enable a small collection of lenses to have a greater range and so increase your options. Not cheap at over £100, but the quality justifies the price over budget brand equivalent products and they are way cheaper than canon’s alternative.

These work great – mainly used with a canon eos 60d (and previously 400d) and the 100mm macro lens. A few things to note, though:1. Using manual focus is more reliable than auto-focus, especially with the full set of tubes. Set the focus and move the camera back/forwards. Even without the tubes you generally need flash, and if you’re using flash you’ll want it to be diffused. The easiest/cheapest/most portable solution for this (that i know of) is to take a translucent plastic box lid, cut a hole in it so that it clips over the end of the lens, and use the built-in flash: https://flic. This works great without the tubes, but with the full extensions the diffuser is so far from the flash it’s hard to get enough light without cutting down the aperture. I’ve had these a good few years now and they have worked reliably and seem secure, so i’m very happy with them.

I was considering buying a dedicated macro lens but for what i had in mind i could not justify the £700+ price tag. A friend recommended kenko and am happy i took his advice. I am using these adapter rings on a d7100 with a 50mm prime lense. I am very happy, autofocus and metering works very well, i like the ability to get up close, really close. I will probably only need the 12mm extension tube but having tried the 20mm and 36mm it opens up a world of macro options without massive expense. I am using combinezp freeware for focus stacking.

Im happy with item,but was under impression they would increase telephoto zoom on my 500mm lense but wont focus at long distances.

I have recently become interested in macro photography, but not enough (yet) to justify the high prices of most macro lenses. I looked at the canon tubes but then came across a recommendation for these kenko tubes on a photography site. Given that there are no optics involved i really couldn’t see why it would be worth paying the canon prices – you get three kenko tubes for the price of one of the canon tubes. I didn’t recognise the kenko name but have since discovered that they make lenses under the well-known tokina brand. I have been really pleased with the results i have had using the tubes – you can combine them any way you like. The level of detail i have been able to obtain is just astonishing and has had the effect of encouraging me to experiment more. Although the tubes can operate in auto mode, most of the time i have been using manual. All in all i am very impressed. I’m not ruling out getting a macro lens but these tubes have provided a relatively inexpensive way of trying macro photography whilst at the same time offering decent quality.

Must buy i would say if you want to get extreme close to your subject. They do seem pricey when you set out to buy them but when you see results you are pleasantly surprised. I use same with my sigma 105mm. Happy with results and will surely recommend. Also be ready to play with manual focus as that close auto focus does struggle.

I was considering buying a macro lens for my canon dslr but i some of the prices put me off. As an alternative i tried the kenko extension tubes which i am extremely pleased with. The tubes are extremely well made and easy to assemble to the camera body and the chosen lens. The resulting macro images have been excellent and i would recommend the product to anyone who wants to try macro photography without the extra costs of a macro lens.

Once got used to them i managed to get some very close up macro photos of insects.

I haven’t bought other brands of extension tubes for my sony/minolta kit. I am aware that ‘simple’ tubes do not carry electronics contacts through the extension. These tubes carry electronics and focus drive through. With closeup i tend to use manual focus as depth of field is so small. I like the latches for the locking of lens and tube. The button is large and robust without getting in the way. The tubes are of a good wall thickness and have metal locking rings. These seem to be quality units.

Its what is says and works fine.

First off if anyone is considering purchasing these kenko extension tubes i would strongly recommend purchasing from anyone other that amazon themselves. My tubes took an age to arrive and upon opening i found the sheet of instructions to be in german.In my quest to improve my photomicrography skills using a canon 1100d and meiji emz 13tr microscope i decided to learn more basic techniques, in particular macro photography to more familiarise myself with the camera and its various functions. My first purchase was a set of four dioptre filters (also known as close up lenses) of the type that simply screw onto the end of a lens as per a normal filter. These were great fun and a great way to play around with macro in its most basic form. It was during this time that i started to be bitten by the macro bug and wanted morei had read about reverse lens macro where one attaches (via a ring adapter specific to one’s camera and lens chosen) a lens, any lens, backwards to the camera. I have a set of old practika pentacon lenses that were waiting to be dropped off to oxfam as i had no use for them. Once i had acquired a reverse lens adapter (£2:99 via ebay) i gave it a go. I found the 28mm wide angle lens gave the best results and was extremely pleased with my pictures. It was at this point i wanted yet more so started looking into extension tubes. Having trawled the offerings on amazon and read many horror stories regards the cheapo sets of tubes i thought i really didn’t need the hassle of having tubes that worked when they pleased due to poor workmanship/quality control (read made in china).

I am glad i took the time to read the reviews on this product. It has lived up to everything i read about it and has saved the enormous cost of buying a dedicated macro lens for my canon 550d. So far the results have been excellent, even though there is quite a bit of experimentation needed to get the right combination of tubes it is well worth the effort.

Nikon d5600 with tamron 85mm macro lens. Works, make sure to turn camera off before changing lens or extention. Auto focus struggles (camera limitation) best use manual for great results.

Although i ordered a canon fit the amazon warehouse manged to pick a nikon fit. However after a chat with amazon it was sorted and the correct item was delivered 24 hour later. All reviews suggested kenco was one of the best and i agree. Having done some test close up photography, the quality of the tubes is excellent, they mount onto the camera smoothly and the lens mounts on the tubes smoothly. All i have to do now is perfect my ultra close up work.

Having previously used a canon 100mm macro lens i looked to buy one. But as i only would use it on a maximum of 5% of time, i also reviewed both add on lenses and extension tubes. Even the canon add on lens has optical limitations, so in the end i choose to go with extension tubes. They are not as easy to use as a proper macro lens but using a combination of the three tubes with my 24-105 l series lens and a canon 550d i obtain some really good images of insects and close ups of various small objects. It took a bit of getting used with three variables to set, ie. Physical distance from object, zoom and focus, but the results were worth while. As with most macro images it is if possible best to use a tripod and use manual focus, plus either an rc remote control or a remote control lead. I am pleased with the quality of the extesion tubes and would recommend them to anyone wishing to dabble in macro photography. The big disadvantage is that the lens front to subject distance is very small and if insects are what you are after photographing then it is probable the subject will be distrubed as you try to get the largest recorded image.

They are well made – not to the quality of finish of an l-lens, but then, that isn’t why you buy kenko. A good bit of kit in your bag.

Very good extension tube, very solid plastic and metal. Fit correctly my canon 600d. Maybe too much expensive but if you want avoid any mount problem without buying canon’s tubes (even more expensive) it could be a good choice. Almost impossible to shot without a good source of light and\or tripod but this is a normal consequence of using tubes and not to be consider a defect.

Great little tube extenders, it will take some mastering to get used to the shallow depth of field but at such a low price i’d definitely recommend. I haven’t used the auto focus much because i prefer to use it manually but it does work. Remember this is for macro only so don’t get this if you are looking to double your focal length.

Just the job for extra close macro photography when stuck on the end of my 105mm macro lens. Even with other lenses these tubes are excellent. They allow me to use autofocus and aperture control just as normal. A really useful piece of kit.

Good quality and three for the price of two canon tubes. Fits nicely to the camera and lens.

The surprise with this extension tube, is that the 50mm kit-lens that i have creates much closer macros than the range of zooms i have. The zoom lenses also act as macro lenses, but not 1:1, something less, like 1:1. 5, but they do enable me to be much further away from my subject than i could otherwise get. (ideal for bees, and high voltage sparks that tend to fry cameras).

Although i would only class myself as a very amateur photographer, i have become interested by the possibilities of macro photography. I have an excellent macro lens that i use frequently for this type of work, but i wanted to experiment with extension tubes and a 50mm prime lens. The kenko product is beautifully made and allows for the connections between the camera and the lens. So far i am very pleased with the images i have obtained using this device.

I bought the extenders to try out macro photography i already own a macro capable lens (canon 24-70mm f4) and didn’t want to spend a lot of money trying out macro photography. I have to admit these extension tubes are great. I’ve tried them on a canon 70d and 5d mk 3 with 85mm and 40mm prime lenses as well as the 24-70. The picture quality is perfect i bought a macro slider as well to help with the focus (recommended). Using a tripod helps as the shutter speed comes down with a tube added. The three tubes are great on their own and combined. Give them a go looking forward to the summer and some interesting subjects.

Good alternative for macro photography, and much less expensive than dedicated macro lenses. These extension tubes are very well made.

Good quality product, very pleased with my purchase and transaction.

Kenko teleplus dg af extension tube 36+20+12 for canon eosbeen using these for a week or two now, they are very well made and can be used with standard lenses to do macro photography. I tried mine with a 50mm standard lens and got some great macro shots, currently using them with a canon 100mm macro lens to get me in really close to photograph ants ect. With the full set in use with my 100mm lens a medium size fly completely fills the frame at the closest focal point available. I’ve had no problems using auto focus and no issues with any other lens function which requires the camera electrical connections which are incorporated in these tubes. I employ manual focus when working really close in as it can hunt a bit if the light is not the best. Something like a large hover fly like the one in the attached image would be cropped by the frame at the closest focal point using the full set of tubes on a 100mm macro lens using a full frame camera. Would buy them again, just requires one to be careful not to release the mount locks when handling the lens if manual focusing or supporting the lens by hand. Obviously it wouldn’t be a great outcome if the lens were to fall on the floor due to accidentally releasing the lock on one of the tubes. More than happy with the purcahse.
