Kenko on 18-55mm test for MikeSmithNE

[Robbo]

Right, just a quick test mate (and for any one else as I know extension tubes pop up alot etc)

First pic is 18-55 lens at 55mm

second with the 36mm extension
third with 36+20mm
4th36+20+12mm

ALL ROUGH PICS IN RAW BEFORE YOU LOT START BULLYING ME! lol

Hope it helps

i would expect more magnification than this try at 18mm and set the lens to its closest focusing position , then focus by moving the camera backwards / forwards.

55 is the closest on the lens, this gives near enough a 1:1 ratio you would get with any macro lens

Nice demo there Robbo, I might be adding a set of extension tubes to my "things to get" list

Definately recommend them for anyone who can't afford a macro lens, they are really well built and keep all the electric connections!

Even recommend them for people who have macro lens lol I get 2.5:1 with mine now, like the 5p thread I done.

Showed that to a bloke at work who's borrowing my minolta 100mm macro, he was more than a little impressed!

Thanks Robbo...just what I needed...looks like i'll be investing in a set of those tubes then!

I'm very impressed with the test.

Once I've got them and done some shots I'll give you a shout

No probe just make sure you get the efs style
