Fuji 60mm and extension tubes

[SquarePeg]

Bought these gorgeous mums at the grocery store so I could try out my new extension tubes. They are JJC brand 11 and 16mm. I used both together with the 60mm macro. The AF works great with these tubes! I used MF to be precise but was surprised that these relatively cheap tubes work with AF. My Nikon tubes never did on my 7100.

How close did you have to get?

What lens did you use? If it was a slow kit lens, it will be too dark for the AF module to work.

These are mostly uncropped. I was trying to see how close I could get so I was pretty close. I’ll see next time how far away I can be and still focus.

Mum's the word. Three and Four are my favs. Good to know about the JJC tubes.

Nikon has never made any autofocusing extension tubes...none. So no, no Nikon-branded tubes will autofocus. KENKO has made AF tubes for Nikon F-mount, as have other third-party companies and importers.

Good catch!

Kenko, Fotoxio,Vello, etc.. have had various AF tubes for most common lens mounts...

Thanks Gary.

I didn’t mean to imply that they were made by Nikon. Poor sentence structure on my part. I meant the tubes I bought for my Nikon. I don’t remember the brand and I’ve already given them away so I can’t check. They were cheap ones that advertised as having AF capabilities. Used them with my kit lens and never heard any AF noises so I don’t think the contacts worked at all.

That one I had to clone a light out of the background or it would be my favorite but since I know it was there I can still see it!

Hoping for some good light today to try again with the kit lens and the 35mm to see how those do.
