Overview
The Kenko DG Extension Tube Set for Z-mount is designed to allow closer focusing for Macro photography without the need for a dedicated Macro Lens.
By placing these Tubes between the Lens and camera body, photographers can achieve closer focusing distances and magnified subjects without using a dedicated Macro Lens.
The set includes two stackable Tubes (10mm and 16mm) for flexible magnification control.
Extension Tubes are hollow cylinders without optics designed to enable a camera’s lens to focus closer than its minimum focusing distance and therefore provide more magnification.
They are placed between the lens and body and are particularly useful in allowing Lenses without Macro capability to shoot Macro, but in general, they offer increased magnification for whatever need.
An Extension Tube increases lens magnification by an amount equal to the extension distance divided by the lens focal length.
For example, adding a 25 mm Extension Tube to a 50mm lens will give a magnification gain of 0.5X.
Therefore, if the lens’s original magnification was 0.15X, then the new magnification will be 0.15X + 0.5X = 0.65X.
Kenko’s Auto Focus Extension Tubes are designed with all the circuitry and mechanical coupling to maintain auto focus and TTL auto exposure with Nikon Z Lenses.
Optical Design
The Tubes contain no optical elements, meaning they do not degrade the original optical quality of the Lens itself.
They feature electrical contacts that maintain full electronic communication between the camera body and the Lens, including autofocus (AF) and automatic aperture control (TTL metering).
The Tubes are well-made with metal mounts, providing a secure and sturdy connection.
Limitations
The Lens will not be able to focus to infinity when an Extension Tube is attached.
Autofocus performance can be challenging at very close distances due to the extremely shallow depth of field, so manual focus is often advised.
