extension tube for Nikon

Want to make the macro but your budget photography does not allow it? A macro lens much too expensive? Okay! Buy a extension tube!

looks like an extension tube:

In fact, an extension tube is a kind of extension that is put between camera and lens. Being given that the tube is completely empty, there is no glass, it does not diminish the quality of your lens. His rationale? Remote sensor lens digital camera.

By increasing the distance, there is a zoom. And it's quite impressive how you can zoom! So close that it almost touches the object!

I can tell you it's very effective. Here is an example. The photos below are taken with a Nikon lens Nikkor 28-80mm attached to a Nikon D80.

The first picture is the closest I can get while keeping a clean development.

The second picture with 55mm extension tube. The maximum possible with a clean focus.

The difference is striking! and at a ridiculously low price compared with a macro lens. I bought these extension tubes for about $ 13 on eBay! A macro lens sells for about $ 400, so the choice was not too complicated!

Side negative of these tubes is that you lose all automatic features of our digital photo conditioner unit. One must manually adjust the shutter speed, aperture and above the focus. In addition, make sure that the opening can be adjusted manually on your lens. The most do but there are some lenses that do not allow manual adjustment of aperture. In addition, a tripod is essential because the lens is very close to the object. In my case only 1 inch. A movement of only a few millimeters makes a difference. Also, if you have a command to start the installation without touching the camera is even better.

extensinon The tube that I bought comes in three pieces: 9mm, 16mm and 30mm. We can then make any sort of combination since each tube can be removed or put in our way by the smallness of the object or the insect to photograph.

I can not wait to try it on insects in the wild!
