Dot Line Manual Extension Tube Set for EOS

Comments about Dot Line Manual Extension Tube Set for EOS:

I use these for taking macro photos of just about anything, and they simply work although there are a few drawbacks. Given the price, I wouldn't expect much more, but remember everything is manual. You must set the aperature manually by pressing the depth of field preview button, take the lens off while while holding the button so the aperature stays, then mount the tubes. One drawback to this is that if you use all the tubes and stop your lens down very far the viewfinder is very dark and difficult to determine focux unless you have an external light on the subject. Also, there is a small springloaded metal thing (cleat) that is what locks the lens on to the last tube. It is slightly flimsy and loose. A heavy lens used with this if jiggled the right way can come off the cleat and fall off. For the price though, and if you're willing to not expect too much out of them they're fine for the money. After a while though you may get tired of them and go for the $100-$200 types that have the electronics in them. They will turn any lens into a macro lens.

Used these to photograph macro shots of eyes results were phenomenal. The loss of light makes it difficult to focus the lens & you have to remember to set the F-stop on the lens before you remove it from your camera but if you're looking for image quality these extension tubes will have no negative effect.
