Meike Extension Tube Set - Sony E-Mount

Meike Extension Tube Set - Sony E-Mount - 10 mm and 16 mm tubes

A tiny subject such as a flower detail or a small object can be hard to fill the frame with using a lens at its usual close-focus limit. The Meike Extension Tube Set - Sony E-Mount includes two hollow tubes, 10 mm and 16 mm, that fit between a Sony E-mount camera and lens to shorten the focusing distance. That closer focus projects the subject larger onto the sensor, extending the macro range of lenses you already own. Since there are no optical elements inside the tubes, they don’t add another lens system to the image path or reduce the lens’s own image quality. Use the set to bring fine surface details into view, or to make a small subject more prominent in a close-up. It’s a straightforward way to explore macro photography with an existing lens, rather than adding a separate close-up lens.

Key Features

• Sony E-mount fit: The set is made for Sony E-mount cameras and lenses. Its metal bayonet mount provides the physical connection between the camera body, tube and lens.
• TTL metering retained: With TTL metering, the set does not require exposure compensation. That keeps metering adjustments out of the way when you’re working close to a subject.
• Autofocus remains available: Autofocus continues to work when the camera’s AF drive is used. You can keep using the camera’s autofocus system for close-up subjects.
• No glass inside: The tubes are hollow, with no lens elements of their own. The increase in magnification comes from the added distance between camera and lens, not from extra optics.
• Closer focusing, larger subject: Adding extension shortens a lens’s focusing distance, so it can focus nearer than usual. The subject is then projected larger on the sensor than it would be without a tube.

Good to know

Extension tubes work best with a telephoto lens, according to the supplied product information. The two tubes can be fitted one at a time or together, so you can choose between the shorter extension of a single tube and the added extension of both. The combined setup is 26 mm; the separate options are 10 mm and 16 mm.
