Fotodiox Pro Auto Macro Extension Tube for Hasselblad X-System (XCD) Mount Cameras are automatic tubes that transfer all electronic functions from the lens to the camera, including autofocus and autoexposure. Macro extension tubes are a wonderful alternative to expensive macro lenses. Macro extension rings preserve the original optical quality and transform the normal lens into a macro lens. By adjusting the distance between your camera body and the lens, the focusing distance is shortened and creates the effect of magnifying your subject. Because no optical components are added to this extension tube, the image retains the original optical properties of the lens.
This is far more desirable than close-up lenses, which are attached to the front of the lens via filter threads and alter the optical quality, resulting in a blurry image full of artifacts. Adding an extension tube increases the effective aperture and reduces the amount of light entering the camera, meaning you have to use either a slower shutter speed or a higher ISO to compensate for the loss of light. Your camera will do this for you automatically if it is set to an auto exposure mode. Macro extension tubes are a cost-effective and easy way to convert any existing lens into a macro lens.
Overview of extension tubes¹
An extension tube is simply a hollow cylinder that fits between your camera and the lens, allowing the lens to move further away from the sensor. This extra distance allows your lens to focus more accurately, which in turn provides greater magnification capacity. Unlike most lens accessories, extension rings do not add any additional optics and are therefore relatively inexpensive, simple devices.
Choose a magnification: 1:2 (0.5X) 1:1 (1.0X) Note: The diagram assumes a symmetrical lens (pupil magnification = 1) An extension tube increases the lens magnification by an amount equal to the extension distance divided by the focal length of the lens . For example, adding a 25mm extension tube to a 50mm lens gives you a magnification gain of 0.5x. So if the original magnification of the lens was 0.15x, the new magnification will be 0.15x + 0.5x = 0.65x. The closest focusing distance is also reduced to ~210 mm.

Lenses with shorter focusing distances typically have greater native extension, but these also benefit less from extension tubes. Experiment with different lenses to see how lengthening affects magnification.
- • Extension tubes work best with short to medium focal lengths, but are less effective with telephoto lenses
- • The additional magnification also increases camera shake and the subject, the use of a tripod is recommended
- • Make sure you use the smallest aperture (largest number) on your lens to get adequate depth of field for better quality images
- • Each ring brings you closer to the subject as you increase the distance between the lens and camera
- • Different lens lengths require different distances from the subject. If the subject is not in focus, move the camera closer or further away from the subject until the subject is in focus
- • The effectiveness of intermediate rings decreases as the focal length increases. You need to be careful when working with extreme wide angle lenses as the required focusing distance may be closer to the lens than is physically possible (i.e. you would hit the front lens element before you have achieved focus).
