Review on πŸ“· Fotodiox Macro Extension Tube Set: Unlock Extreme Macro Photography on Canon EOS EF/EF-S Cameras by Matthew Hoang

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The best value for money you will ever find!

Let me start by saying that I really love photography as a hobby. It goes without saying that this can become an expensive hobby. But I'm the kind of person who thinks it's more about craftsmanship than fancy gear. I believe if I can somehow learn how to take decent pictures at the lowest cost, then maybe I can really understand and appreciate the art of photography. Do macro photography. I've seen photos of snowflakes that were absolutely mesmerizing and I just knew I wanted to try my hand at macro photography. After seeing that a Canon macro lens cost around $1000 and a few attempts to get a cheap $30 lens attachment failed to get decent results, I decided to give these extension tubes a try. When I stumbled across them and bought them, the last snowfall was over. It's spring in Wisconsin, so I've been exercising on all the sprouting buds in my yard. I'm amazed at the results. Is practice required? Of course. I didn't even figure out how to maintain the lens's chosen depth of field when detaching it before trying these tubes. But I think you absolutely can't go wrong here, especially considering the cost. I am definitely satisfied with this product and would recommend it to anyone who really wants to delve into and understand the world of macro photography. For the record, I'm shooting with a Canon Rebel t3i and using a Canon 55-250 lens for these shots.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Negative impression
