Flawless fit & operation

I have always enjoyed macro and closely cropped shots but I am not ready yet to invest in a dedicated lens. I have been shooting for 45 years and have never tried tubes. I have a new fuji and am still reviewing lenses and what I want but I figure ... for giggles lets give the tubes a try. I have the 10mm tube on with a 35mmXC lens on a X-t100. You know what .. pretty cool for very little investment. Here is the good .. It speaks perfectly with my camera and autofocus works like a charm. All exif info is caught. It fits very nicely and has a quality SNAP when installed on the lens and on the camera It is very easy to install even out shooting in the desert. It fits in a little pocket on my small camera bag. It helps do what it claims to do .. get you really up close. Now the Fuji glass is pretty awesome so the quality of the images is a result of a really nice lens but .. I am pretty happy and these were just shots taken around my house. The bad .. Well there is no bad to the quality, fit or functionality of the MEIKE Tubes. They work as advertised and are a breeze to use. They feel quality and I think they were under priced for what I got The bad is mostly for tubes in general. With the 35mm lens you have to be about 5 inches with the 10mm tube to be able to focus. DOF is pretty tight as it should be but seems tighter than proper macro lenses I have used and the working distance is a bit closer than I would like but of course that changes with the lens you are using. If you are going to really get into up close photography .. a proper macro lens is the way to go. If you want to dabble and dont want to carry a bunch of extra lenses .. these MEIKE tubes are pretty awesome and you are only limited by your creativity.

I purchased this to start using my XT2 to digitalize film. I ran a brief test after opening the package. The product feels sturdy and well built. Unfortunately it does not fit onto my XF 35mm 1.2 lens. It just wont turn and I've seen other people comment that it does not fit on certain lenses. It does fit to the body nicely though. It also fits on my 7artisans XF mount lens and an FD-XF adapter. Neither the 7artisans lens nor any FD lenses have autofocus so I could not assess how well that works. Overall it will serve my purposes. It is worth a shot to try this but just beware it may not fit with some XF lenses. I do not know the reason for this.

Does what an extension tube should. Solid fit with no wiggle. All electrical connectors function perfectly and all features on my Fuji camera work.

Works right out of the box. I'm a full-manual-lens user. Keep that in mind. I cannot even test AF ability with these extensions as I have no AF lenses. I do macro via manual lenses and focus peaking for manual focus with the LCD and/or EVF. Works great. Combine these with any 50mm lens and you'll have very, very close reproduction for true macro. I use manual primes with my Fuji kit and the Rokinon 50mm F1.2 with these extensions focuses at about 2~3 inches away and is razor, razor sharp at F5.6 with enough DOF to take care of something 5~6mm thick give or take a little. I use flash for light at sync speed for this. I was worried I would need a 3rd extension, but for any new mirrorless user, get the old dSLR thought-process out of your mind. You do not need more extensions, you already operate with less distance between your glass and your sensor as it is. You don't need much extension to bring the focus point closer. I tested these with my 50mm F1.2 (Rokinon) and 85mm F1.4 (Rokinon) and they work great and provide very close focus for macro work without buying a specific macro lens. Again, these are manual. I don't use AF. Regardless of not using AF I would give these 5/5 simply for working, fitting tightly, and being fairly well made.

This is a great hack vs. buying a micro lens for hundreds of dollars. I created these gorgeous photos.

The photos are straight out of the camera and I added photos to show the focusing distance of each set up (10mm, 16mm, and both). The photos are decent and the auto focus works. I ended up doing manual focus though as the auto focus spent a lot of time searching. The biggest downfall is you can only focus within a short distance. Once attached you have around an inch or less that the camera will focus in, unlike a macro lens that can be used as a normal lens. The exentions are made out of plastic, but do not feel cheap. They make me a bit nervous attaching the the camera and lens, but i havent had any issues yet. These would be good if you are wanting to try macro photography on the cheap.

These do exactly what they were designed to do, but there are a couple of issues for me: 1. Although these are beautifully designed tubes, I just can't help but feeling very nervous when heavy lens is attached. ( In my case, they are the Viltrox "Pro" series lenses, the 27mm and 75mm ) .... I am hoping the black tube is made of metal, but it does feeling plasticky and fragile especially when I combined the 10mm tube with 16mm tube. If anyone can confirm that the black part of the tube is made of metal, I will feel a lot better and change my rating to 5*. 2. This second issue, I don't believe it's the tubes problem but the Viltrox XF AF 27mm f1.2 Pro. It is very very tight fit. I think it is due to the lens weather seal gasket. I don't recommend using them together. very difficult to attach and detach. Over all happy with this product, but will be happier if someone can confirm that these tubes are fully made of metal. Happy shooting,
