I cannot seem to find the TS member that recommended the Kenko Tubes but I would like to thank you!!!
I got a set of tubes through Amazon for about USD165 and tested them out now on a few things reeeeal quick (Under fluorescent lighting and bad shadows). I must say that they do the job that I need of them, sure the quality is nowhere close to a mid/high end micro lens but I don’t need that

This one I used my 85mm f1.4 at 1.4 and you can see how tight the DF is...



These I used my 24-105mm f4
f4

f18 I think

f4

 

Damn, those do look good.

 

Those gum photos look pixy but it is partly the wrapper

 

Cool stuff! I'm tempted to pick up a set myself, actually. It's so much cheaper than a comparable Macro lens.

 

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing... I had never even heard of them until Jonathan (getliquidnow) talked about them in the POV thread.

 

Yes! Thank you!!!
GetLiquidNow was the one who showed us some cool shotz with his Kenko Tubs
Thank you Jonathan

 

Sweet shots Hani!

For those people who want to dabble and have a little fun in macro, the kenko tubes are certainly worth it. Like mentioned above, they're not quite the quality of a high end 100MM Macro etc, but they certainly do the job.

Some of my shots with the kenko tubes..

 

Jonathan what lenses are you using here^^^

 

The mantis picture was shot with the nifty fifty and if I remember correctly the first two kenko tubes (36+20).

All the others were shot using all 3 kenko tubes and my 28-135mm...

I haven't messed around all that much with them, but I was happier with my results from my nifty fifty + kenko tubes, compared to combination's with other lenses.

 

I use Kenko tubes with my 80-400mm (and a tripod) quite often, but nothing beats my Sigma 105mm Macro
