Hi guys, I've heard a lot that most extension tubes will not work properly with a lens that doesn't have a aperture ring, will this one work just fine

I have one you can use it in 3 parts I like it Some my not on older lenses . Hope it works for you.

Unless you buy the one with the electrical contacts for the newer lenses, you must have an older lense with an manual aperture ring on the lense, and run in manual mode. The problem with some of the lower end Nikons is that your exposure will be by trial and error, ie D5100 for example.

This one will NOT work with a lens without an aperture ring. There are no mechanical or electrical connections in this extension tube set.

It will work fine with FX G Lenses. There is an aperture adjustment ring. It is not as precise as a manual focus aperture lens, but it does get the job done.

you can put these filter and the tube together but you will not get a good result, all you get is a heavily distorted image. Stick with macro extension tube. I'm combining two sets of macro extension tube and 1:1 50mm f1.4 lens, getting a good results.

I'm having the same problem using this lens on my D80 camera. What you are saying is that there is no way for me to use the ring to adjust the aperture? It only works when locked on 22?? This doesn't seem right.

The lenses I use all have an aperture ring so I don't use it. Not sure if a lens without would engage. Certainly I have no aperture control from my alpha7. The adapter ring only opens...if the lens ring is f8, you can only go wider on my lenses.

Personally, yes, for 3 reasons. However extension tubes are great as well. Here is why I use this more often though:1. No loss of light2. Easy to put in a pocket and stick on your lens at a moments notice.3. Don't have to remove lens to use, so less dust introduced into sensor.

You can save money and buy an adapter without aperture ring or you can buy this and use your aperture ring or the one on the adapter...it is up to you, the adapter will work in any case but if you don't need to use newer EF lens (without aperture ring), maybe you can go cheaper and buy an adapter without aperture ring (check on the B&H; website for the best option and then you can look on Ebay or Amazon for the best price...)

Look at the size of the ring adapters. Look at the filter size that your lens takes. Since this set comes so many adapters... yes it will work. But at the price for this set, you really do get what you pay for. I used this set only once.

Is the mount for that lens a Contax/Yashica mount? If yes, then it should have no issues mounting onto that ring adapter and then onto any of those Canon bodies you listed. I did a quick search and a 28mm lens came up for it. You might want to read the reviews first. I recall someone else posting about a wide angle lens having issues.

If the lenses mount is EOS then yeah just get the adaptor or for whatever mount it is designed for. You may have come flange distance issues with that lens but it should work.

There is a lack of necessary information. But assuming the camera body and the lens are recent versions, the tubes will work fine. I have several lenses and have tried most of them except the 2 perspective control versions, and everything has worked so far

Yes it will work fine but that lens is listed as having a 58mm thread so a step up ring will be required. Or you could just buy a 58mm 500D close Up lens.

Because the tubes fit between the camera and lens, they disrupt the auto-focus capabilities of the lens. The camera should be on Manual and you must manually focus. It will say that no lens is attached, but you still should be able to capture images, but it takes some practice. If you do an internet search on the topic, there are instructions on how to accomplish this. I've found that these tubes are great for close-up macro photography, but only the center portion of the frame will be in focus. The outer edges of the image will be blurry. Returning the tubes would depend on how useful they would be to you, but I wouldn't send them back until you get the hang of using them first....then decide if they are something that you would use often.

Daniel, It's been a while since your post, so you may not need to this info anymore, but I'll pass it on anyway. I would suggest reading the link below for all kinds of info relating to Extenders and Extension Tubes. The answer to your question, which is also on the following link, states: "Most extenders are designed to retain the focusing range of the original lens". http://www.bobatkins.com/photography/eosfaq/closeup2.htm

It will work great,however you will have to ajust the exposure to compensate for the added lens. These lensnormally have instruction with them on how to do this.

Just mount the extension tube on camera body then fit your standard zoom lens, and you are good to shot. This is a cheaper alternative to try taking macro shots. After buying a real macro lens I stopped using these extension tubes.
