Meike Auto Focus Macro Extension Tube Set for Sony E/FE Mount Cameras

These are good extension tubes at an even better price. The five star rating isn't for "in a ranking of extension tubes, which are the best?", but for what you get for this price... plenty.They work with the auto focus on my Sonys and for under 50 bucks you have yourself a sorta-macro, or "poor man's macro" out of any lens that'll mount. With one or both of these extensions, you reduce one's minimum focal distance, and can get some good "magnification" with pretty similar results to a macro lens. Not bad.These tubes are made of plastic, and are pretty lightweight, and I'm not sure how durable they will prove to be if one is making a lot of lens changes or throwing a heavyweight lens on the front. I would recommend the polished ring version as it will be kinder to your lens mount. These couldn't be easier to use, mount right up to the camera body, and still allows you to use all the compatibility and functions you would expect. The fit is nice and snug.

Nice qualilty. Works well.

These allow me to significantly cut down the focusing distance on my lens. While they are metal, they are slightly wobbly, and sometimes get locked up. But I still believe they are great for the price, considering the gap to the professional grade tubes is about 4-5x as much money. Using both tubes will make your AF hunt a bit from time to time. Works well most of the time however.

This extension tube kit is an excellent way to convert the Sony kit lens or a prime lens to a macro lens, but it's important to know what you're getting.This is not a lens, nor a pair of lenses. You are not getting any glass here. These are extension tubes only. They do not affect the image quality of your camera or lenses. As in computer science: Garbage In = Garbage Out. If you have a poor quality lens, sensor, or camera, these lens extensions will not help nor hurt you. If you have poor lighting, an unsteady hand, and refuse to use a tripod, you're going to have a tough time getting good shots. All this being said, if you practice a bit, you can get almost microscope-like shots with a standard portrait lens and without having to buy a dedicated lens.I'm not an expert on macro photography, but for some online reviews I do I needed to be able to take some "close-up" shots that border in the "macro" range. This inexpensive but relatively high-quality pair of extension tubes was perfect for me. I'm happy with the fit and finish, and the versatility the two-pack brings to my Sony 35mm prime lens.I don't think I'll use the pair of extensions together much because the depth of field becomes ridiculously narrow and the amount of light needed for a great shot increases a lot, but I like the 10mm and 16mm separately. I think I'll use the 16mm most because-- for my needs-- it's about the right level of macro.I've attached four pictures. Amazon may jumble the order a bit, but here's how they were taken in order (and you should be able to figure it out just by looking at the framing): 35mm lens only with f2.8, 35mm lens f2.8 with the 10mm extension, 35mm lens f2.8 with the 16mm extension, and finally 35mm lens f2.8 with both the 10mm and 16mm extensions.

awesome pictures when used with the correct lens. Plenty of magnification for close up pictures.

Great quality for the price. You aren't going to get crisp photos, but it allows for a closer focal point. The edges are very blurry because the focal point is narrowed so much. If you are looking to play around with macro photography, then this is a great product for you. If you already have a macro lens, then this product is still for you. With different lenses, you can produce different effects.

Great choice for an affordable yet great macro extension tube. ✨

I learned that extension tubes in general sound good but for practical use you end up fight the focusing distances for a short window and infinity isn't a thing anymore. Probably best application is if the camera is mounted at the "focusing Distance".

This has an engineered metal construction, which has been machined by the look of it. Does what it should . Glad I bought it.

Ich nutze die Meike MK-S-AF3A Distanzringe an meiner Sony A7 IV und A7R V und bin absolut begeistert. Wer Makrofotografie ausprobieren möchte, ohne direkt in ein teures Spezialobjektiv zu investieren, ist hier genau richtig.🟢 Das hat mich überzeugt:Volle Funktionalität: Der Autofokus wird einwandfrei übertragen und funktioniert trotz der Ringe weiterhin schnell und zuverlässig. Auch die Blendensteuerung bleibt voll erhalten.Beeindruckende Naheinstellgrenze: Die Fokusgrenze verschiebt sich massiv nach vorne. Man kann bis auf wenige Millimeter an das Motiv heranrücken, was fantastische Detailaufnahmen ermöglicht.Verarbeitung: Die Ringe wirken stabil und sitzen fest am E-Mount Bajonett meiner Kameras. Es gibt kein Wackeln oder Kontaktprobleme.Vielseitigkeit: Da das Set aus zwei Ringen (10 mm und 16 mm) besteht, kann man den Vergrößerungseffekt flexibel anpassen (einzeln oder kombiniert).Fazit:Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit diesem Kauf. Bisher gab es keinerlei Probleme, und die Ergebnisse in der Makrofotografie sind hervorragend. Eine klare Empfehlung für alle Sony-Nutzer, die mehr Details einfangen wollen!

Very impressed with this set! They feel solid, surprisingly nice construction, clip in nicely, and the autofocus is pretty decent, although please note that you do need to be within fairly close range of focus or it will just hunt. I tested this with my Sony A7II and Sony 50mm 1.8 lens and was able to lock in on subjects fairly quickly. Also don't loose too much light which is nice. Overall very happy with this purchase.

I really liked this product. Got easly fitted to my Sony e mount and results are fantastic.Worth buying it.

I am not fun of macro tub but this one really blow my mind.I was about to buy macro lens for almost 900 euro, then i thought to give it a try.I was not expecting to get such a good image from it.Working so good both in Photo and Video , in video even you can get continus autofocuse.I will soon update this review with some images.
