Well made and Price is right.

I purchased these extension tubes not having ever used them before. They came very quickly and I was out shooting right away. The tubes work well, although the auto focus on my Nikon D90 doesn't work very well with all the tubes on. It is fine when using one or two of them. They are sturdy and easy to take on and off. These let me take extremely close shots. I used manual focus with good results.

Good value for the price.

I'm holding out on buying a Macro Lens so I bought this instead. Definitely recommend if you're looking to explore macro photography. Nikon D7100 with 50mm lens

Very fun and easy to use

I had endless hours of fun for over the past year using this with my nikon 28mm and 50mm primes lens. The product is very sturdy and I never had any issues with it flexing or any damage to my lens. I’ll include a few of the photos I took using the macro tubes along with a tripod and a small macro rail slider.

Great for starter macro photography

I'm just starting to get into macro photography, so I wanted to try an inexpensive route before I buy a thousand-dollar (or more) macro lens. These work great on my Nikon D750. Whether I use all the tubes together, or individual ones, or two at at a time, the auto-focus and all other camera features worked just fine with my 50mm lens plus these tubes. They're so good, that I learned I cannot use them without a tripod (all three together). If I breathe, everything goes out of focus because the depth of field is so shallow. Anyway, I'm starting with just one of the rings now to get used to it.

Does what it says on the tin

Good product. Great intro to macro photography. Feels a little cheap but have had no issues with attachment. I swap them out a lot when trying for different magnification levels and they seem like they will hold up. I have not tried other brands but at this price point I assume they are all about the same. They work fine with AF/metering on my D7000 even when using all 3 and I have not had any weird behavior so far. Definitely get a set like this one that has the AF/metering connections. With this set and a standard 50mm prime lens you can get some very close shots. You can also use these with a dedicated macro lens to get even more magnification. A couple tips for this setup: You will move the camera instead of the focus ring in order to change focus so manual focus mode is recommended. Depth of field is extremely shallow - a tripod is very helpful unless you have very stable hands. For static subjects it helps to have a focusing rail, otherwise you can just move the camera slightly and take a bunch of shots. "Live View" mode is very helpful in focusing since you can set the aperture high and still see your DoF/focus on the screen. If you are going for a "budget macro" photo setup, I'd recommend you also pick up a reversing ring and aperture control set for another 30 bucks or so. For extreme close-ups you may need to use "focus stacking" software like Zerene Stacker to produce the images you want. This is a solid alternative to an expensive dedicated macro lens and I am very happy with it.

Works the way it's supposed to

This set appears to be well built well enough, although you won't find the build quality to be anywhere close to Nikon's. The set functions fully with my 50mm f1.4 G lens on my D7000 body. I've also tested with my older 50mm 1.8 D lens. I have no problems with mounting/dismounting lenses or connecting/disconnecting to the camera body with single or multiple tubes. Metering and autofocus both work the way they should. With high magnification, usually manual focus is much more practical, but the metering is essential for correct TTL exposure. I've only tested in Aperture priority mode, since you would normally want to stop the lens down a bit to get more depth of field. This set does what it is designed to do. If you want to do macro photography without spending a fortune, this is a really good option. I would recommend going this route over trying to use close-up filters. Update: I tested this with my 1965 vintage 55mm micro-Nikkor (AI converted) and it metered flawlessly mounted on two stacked tubes.

These work great and fully support auto focus

These work great and fully support auto focus. Using Nikon D3400 with stock 18-55mm Lens. Able to focus very close with these tubes. I've been using the 12mm and 20mm tubes to photograph corals in my reef tank. The photo below was taken using the 12mm ring and the coral is aprox 5" from the glass.

Good for cheap macro with kit lenses, but with one thing to remember - focusing distance.

As a beginner in DSLR, this item allows me to reach greater than 1:1 photos with my standard kit zoom lenses and take good macro photos without investing in expensive lenses. A thing to remember - these shorten the distance of the subjects from your lens, so when using about 50 mm tubes with a prime 50mm lens, you get about 1:1. If you use all three tubes with a zoom lense, such as 18-140mm, then the distance of the subject from your lens is INSIDE the lense, so the Auto Focus can't lock on, and you will hear clicking sounds. Remove one of the tubes to push back the focusing distance, and you will be good to go.

Best, Cheepest Improvement Ever!

This works great! The photos are amazing and the auto focus is not as important as I thought it would be. The ring on the ends is metal so I thoughts the mounts would be metal also, they are not. The mount is plastic but I was able to mount a 70-200mm and it did not break so its not that weak. I also would not trust it to hold the entire weight of the camera and lens. Having 3 different ranges to choose from was very nice and because there is no glass to impact the image quality, the photos look great. Focus may not be that big of an issue, but having the lens metering is a huge help, especially for macro photography where many times I will be using a small aperture. Facebook.com/degoshphoto/

Good for the money

These worked great for close up macros. The construction feels a little bit cheap, but they are basically just plastic tubes. I've seen some people complain about problems with focusing. These do have the right connections for focusing if your lens has a focusing motor in it. That being said, when you are trying to take really close in photos, you'll probably be better off using manual focus. My camera tried to focus, and sometimes it succeeded but I had better luck with manual focus. Your focusing range will also depend on your lens' focal length. It took some experimentation to figure out which tubes to use depending on the focal length and how close you want to get to your subject. If you have the wrong tube(s) for your lens/distance combination, you will not be able to focus on your subject regardless of whether you use manual or auto focus. I was using these with a Nikon d3100. It isn't always really obvious where to line these up when connecting them, but once you get it right, they connected to the camera and the lens without any problems. If I had a better lens or camera I might think about looking for an extension tube that wasn't mostly plastic, but it is hard to beat these at this price.
