Vello EXT-NZ Reviews

Tons of play in the lens foot

I thought the most expensive option would be better than the cheap online option i tried before, but they're clearly stamped from the same die and have the same issues. Turns any lens into a bit of a tilt shift lens, and you can add more tilt by stacking the tubes. Would work great for shooting perfectly top down. Now I'm not in NYC & difficult to return 񬠀

Extension Tubes are fantastic

I ordered the Extension tubes for my Canon R5, to be used with both RF & EF lenses. Currently doing a project using the RF 100 Macro & the EF 90mm TS lens. They work perfectly- as good as Canon Tubes would be! They increase the minimum focusing well, and the images are very sharp!

Fisheye lens and Nikon Z6. The grip is on the frame... If I use the Vello Extension Tubes does it change the Lens Focal Lenght ?
Asked by: Daniel
The Vello Auto Extension Tubes for Nikon Z-Mount Lenses will decrease the point of focus so you can show more detail of a small item like a diamond on a ring. The issue is that you won't be able to focus to infinity any longer with the extension tube on the camera.

I have a Nikon D5600 with an AF-P 18-55mm and an AF-P 70-300mm lens. Is this product comparable with my equipment? Thanks.
Asked by: Audrey
It certainly should be. Nikon DSLR lenses are all interchangeable and the extension tubes simply lack any lens ( they are just hollow tube with the two nikon mounts. You should be good to go.
