Extension tubes... talk to me about them.

[Deitz Dittrich]

So - have been reading a lot, or at least some.. For doing flower pics. A lot of people use an extension tube... What does it do, and how do you know which one to get?

Thanks

DD, take a look at the sticky at the top of the forum, Photography basics. It has a good explanation on the use of extension tubes by our buddy Foss. If you need more than that ask away and I will do my best to help you out. My first set of extension tubes was about 30 years ago and I haven't used them much since then

I have a 12mm canon extension tube Deeds. I will let you use it a bit this summer and see what you think. Any of my other lenses you are welcome to try as well, so long as I don't need em for a gig. Maybe someday this summer, a boat ride and photo day is in order.
