Kenko Auto Extension Tube Set DG (12, 20 & 36mm Tubes) for Nikon

Find the perfect solution for close-up photography with the Kenko DG Auto Extension Tube Set for Nikon AF Mount, designed to transform your standard lens into a macro marvel. This set includes three tubes of varying lengths - 12mm, 20mm, and 36mm - that can be used individually or combined to achieve your desired level of magnification.

Crafted for Nikon AF mount cameras, these extension tubes enable lenses to focus closer than their normal minimum focusing distance, effectively enlarging the appearance of your subject in the viewfinder and in your final images. They are indispensable tools for macro photography, allowing you to explore the intricate details of small subjects without compromising the original optical quality of your lens.

The Kenko DG Auto Extension Tubes are meticulously engineered without any optical elements, ensuring that they simply extend the distance between the camera sensor and the lens. This extension forces the lens to focus much closer than usual, with the length of the tube dictating how close you can get to your subject.

These tubes are equipped with advanced circuitry and mechanical coupling to maintain auto focus and TTL auto exposure with most Nikon lenses, provided there is sufficient light for the camera's AF system to function correctly. However, it's important to note that when using these extension tubes, the lens will not focus to infinity and the focus range will be significantly limited to close proximity.

Additionally, using extension tubes can result in light fall-off, potentially up to the equivalent of 3 f-stops when multiple tubes are used together. This reduction in light may affect the camera's auto focus capability, making manual focusing a recommended alternative to ensure sharp images.

While the Kenko DG Auto Extension Tubes support most Nikon lenses, Nikon "D" information is not transmitted due to the closer focusing distance than programmed. Also, for Nikon AF-S lenses with Silent Wave Motor technology, manual focusing is required as these tubes are not compatible with the auto focus function.

The new DG Series tubes have been upgraded with "Gated-Array" circuitry, enhancing their performance with digital SLRs and some digital-only lenses, while still maintaining compatibility with film SLR cameras and lenses. Whether you're a hobbyist exploring the world of macro photography or a seasoned professional seeking a cost-effective alternative to dedicated macro lenses, the Kenko DG Auto Extension Tube Set for Nikon AF Mount is an invaluable addition to your photographic toolkit.
