- Two Extension Tubes
- Compatible with Micro Four Thirds Lenses
- Use Individually or Combined
- Macro Conversion
The Auto Extension Tube Set for Micro Four Thirds Lenses by Kenko is a set of two extension tubes for mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras. This set has tubes of 10 mm and 16mm. The tubes can be used individually or in combination to obtain the desired magnification.
More DetailsExtension tubes are hollow cylinders without optics designed to enable a camera's lens to focus closer than its minimum focusing distance and therefore provide more magnification. They are placed between the lens and body and are particularly useful in allowing lenses without macro capability to shoot macro, but in general, they offer increased magnification for whatever need.
An extension tube increases lens magnification by an amount equal to the extension distance divided by the lens focal length. For example, adding a 25 mm extension tube to a 50 mm lens will give a magnification gain of 0.5X. Therefore, if the lens's original magnification was 0.15X, then the new magnification will be 0.15X + 0.5X = 0.65X.
Kenko's Auto Focus extension tubes are designed with all the circuitry and mechanical coupling to maintain auto focus and TTL auto exposure with Micro Four Thirds lenses.

question
Just purchased these and am having an issue getting any image. Using the panasonic 12-35mm, i have used one and both extension tubes and still only get a blurry image of light. I've gotten very close (cm close) to an object with a tripod and have slowly backed away to test the range and still get nothing. i have used mostly manual focus but have also tried auto, and both do not change the blur that I am getting. has anyone else had this issue?
Just tagging this, my opinions in general, given 30+ years with extension tubes, helicoids, and macro work. Tubes on Wide angle lenses can work, depending on focal length, but âone size does not fit all.â Super-wides not so much, imo! My experiences with tubes & zooms are okay, but not always real good. Lens designs dictate the outcomes. Some zooms are great throughout their range and others are less great at varying points of extension. In many respects, dedicated macro lenses are optics plus a focusing (helicoid) tube. Getting the flat visual field for edge to edge sharpness is very important for macro work - thus dedicated macro lenses exist. Adding a tube to your main lens changes the focusing distance but the curvature of your optics also remains. You may find sharp lens center, but softer edge, depending on the degree of magnification (tube length etc). If you are merely trying to shorten a distance for close-up, portraits, etc, then tubes can help. If you want a critically accurate, edge-to-edge consistent combo, then a macro lens is usually best. These are tools for defined tasks and you may want some of each eventually.

Can these tubes be used on a canon 100 mm EF ...
Can these tubes be used on a canon 100 mm EF macro lens and then with an EF to RF adaptor on a Canon R5?
Yes, you are able to mount the combination (Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 macro with the Kenko Auto Extension Tube Set DG on the EF-RF adapter) onto an EOS R5 and it should function as expected.

question
Will these tubes work with the D810 and the 60mm Macro?
I don't have the D810, but it has a built-in AF motor to drive the old AF lenses, and the Nikon mount is the same. Should work just fine for you.
