I’ve been interested in photographing bees recently. Rather than buy a macro lens, I spent $32 on a 10mm and 16mm Meike extension tube. Photos are with an A9II + Sigma 35mm f/2, which normally offers a 0.18x magnification. All four are taken as close as the lens will focus. I’m very happy with image quality, especially given that this lens doesn’t have a super flat focal plane at its minimum focal distance.
For anyone who tries an extension tube for their first time: you won’t be able to focus very far in the distance (beyond about 1 foot in my case). Be ready to get up close and personal.
Didnt realize this was about photography and was wondering what wine bottle extension tubes are.
Nah, that community name was just for kidding…
