all gorgeous!
good job
what do you mean with " MANUAL " extension tubes?

Overread · Feb 22, 2009

its means that the tubes have no electical contacts - so the camera has no idea what lens is attached to it. That means aperture has to be changed manually (not too tricky since many nikons still have a manual aperture ring - unlike a lot of recent canon lenses) and that one has to meter the camera manually as well (that means either knowing maths or lots of experimenting

)
