Product Information

Full details

This guide is for photographers using the Kenko DG Extension Tube Set with Nikon F-mount cameras, aiming to achieve macro photography. The primary benefit is the ability to capture close-up shots with existing lenses, effectively transforming them into macro lenses at a lower cost. However, it's important to note that using extension tubes can reduce the amount of light reaching the camera's sensor, potentially requiring adjustments to your settings.

FAQs

Are these tubes compatible with all Nikon F-mount lenses?

They are compatible with most Nikon F-mount lenses, including AF lenses. However, some older or specialized lenses might have compatibility issues.

Do these tubes affect image quality?

The tubes themselves do not have any optical elements, so they don't introduce distortion or aberrations. However, using them can magnify any existing imperfections in your lens.

Will I lose autofocus functionality?

The Kenko DG Extension Tube Set retains autofocus functionality with compatible AF lenses.

Can I use the tubes with a tripod?

Yes, it is highly recommended to use a tripod, especially when using the tubes, as the increased magnification makes the camera more susceptible to shake.

How do I determine which tube size to use?

The longer the tube, the closer you can focus, and the greater the magnification. Experiment with different combinations to achieve the desired effect.

What is the best way to clean the tubes?

Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the surfaces. Avoid using liquids or harsh chemicals.

Can I combine the extension tubes?

Yes, you can combine the tubes to achieve different magnification levels. Simply stack the tubes together before attaching the lens.

Troubleshooting

Autofocus not working.

Ensure the lens is compatible and that the camera and lens contacts are clean. Try switching to manual focus.

Images are too dark.

Increase the ISO setting or use a slower shutter speed. Consider using a tripod to avoid camera shake.

Difficulty focusing.

Use manual focus or try focusing at a different distance. Ensure the subject is well-lit.

Lens not attaching properly.

Make sure the lens and tube mounts are aligned correctly. Check for any obstructions and ensure both are securely locked in place.
