Extension Tubes

Bonjour,

 

Do not often need to make a macro picture so an extension tube will be fine for me,

 

but which one to choose and where get it in Europe?

 

Kenko Extension tube set DG for Sony E mount...?

 

Will this fit for the Full Frame E mount A7 series?

 

Vello Ext-SFED deluxe AF extention tube set is OK for FF E-mount cameras,

But in reviews people talk about bare metal on the inside that gives refelxions in every shot...

 

Are there better options for extension tubes?

 

(Don't tell me to buy the 90mm macro lens please.)

I bought two Meike Metal Auto Focus Extension Tubes (and I use them with the 90mm/2.8 macro :) ) over Ebay:

They work fine but has rarely issues with light leak and sometimes slight back-focus because they do not perfectly fit. But for 15$ each I can't complain.

Did you already buy some? Which one and how is you're experience?

 

Here's an example of a 2:1 macro (90/2.8 with 52mm extension tubes) on a full frame sensor (A7RII):

Much depends on what you tend

to shoot, at what magnification.

 

I wouldn't shoot macro without

my 15 kg tripod, which I hate

to bring anywhere, so I bring

my macro subjects home. That

doesn't work for all subjects

acoarst ! But cuz I'm at home

I use a bellows rig, which can

do any macro shot imaginable ...

but you can't just toss it into a

little pocket on your gear bag

for the "occasional need when

in the field".
