Overview

The Neewer B01J5OR0TK Auto Focus Macro Extension Tube Set gives Micro Four Thirds camera owners an accessible path into macro photography without the expense of a dedicated macro lens. The set includes two tubes — 10mm and 16mm — that insert between your camera body and lens, reducing the minimum focusing distance so you can capture fine details of small subjects like insects, flowers, and jewelry. Because the tubes contain no glass elements, they preserve the full optical quality of whatever lens you mount.

Both tubes feature all-metal construction finished in a distinctive blue anodized coating, providing a solid and secure fit that minimizes play between the lens and body. Electronic contacts are built into each tube, maintaining communication between your camera and lens for auto focus and automatic exposure metering. You can use either tube on its own for moderate close-up ability, or stack both together for 26mm of total extension and significantly higher magnification. Keep in mind that greater extension reduces the light reaching the sensor and narrows the depth of field considerably, so a tripod and good lighting are recommended for best results.

  • No optical elements means no degradation of lens image quality
  • Affordable way to convert existing lenses for macro use without buying a dedicated macro lens

👎 Cons

  • Reduces the amount of light reaching the sensor, requiring longer exposures or higher ISO
