Very impressive! - Camera lenses

This product is great and gives amazing macro results. The photos are proof, why not buy this product at such a price? I use Canon 70D. Ethan had an EF mount. The lens mount part will be locked and the camera mount will also be locked. I got the following results with a 50mm lens and all the extensions attached. The liquid in the cup is carbonated water. Since these extension tubes have no electrical connections, you need to mount the lens on the camera and set the maximum aperture value. Then…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Some flaws

Your neighbors will love you.

Having previously purchased a Fotodiox Pro FD lens adapter and was interested in extending the range for long-distance shooting, I purchased this reasonably priced alternative to Canon's teleconverter. One of the features that really stood out to me was the compatibility with EF and EF-S lenses, as well as the contact set for AF and IS. So far the results have been as expected. The range is significantly greater and the image quality for the lay eye is only marginally worse. I will say that the

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • No power

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…

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Negative impression

This thing is great for lens adjustment. It shows that there are a few things everyone should know. Here's a little rundown of my background/photo gear, just so you know I'm reviewing this from a semi-professional point of view. I currently have a canon 5d mark iii, 5d mark ii, 70d and rebel t5, it has worked on all of them. I usually shoot close-ups, portraits, events, weddings and cityscapes. I have a variety of instruments from vintage to modern, I got mine last Thursday and have been…

Pros
  • Dope πŸ”₯

  • Good but not great

It is designed to work the way it works

They work as advertised. They close very tight. A comment for anyone who said they had trouble getting them off the camera after they snapped. If you look at the kit you will see that the end that attaches to your camera has this little stud sticking out. Outside. You must move it forward (away from the camera and in line with the lens) to remove the ring from the camera. It's designed to work the way it works. If I had a suggestion for the manufacturer, it would be that the little ma-doo-dad…

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Some difficulties

Can't close the aperture all the way, only f/5.6 or f/8ish

This lens adapter looks well made and feels solid in my hand, but any shutter mount lens would I'm relying on it not working properly, more specifically the aperture can't work in full range - I can only toggle it between wide open and close at about 50%, about f/8 or so depending on what lens I'm using. I have three shutter mount lenses, two from Sears and a Star-D (probably all from Samyang) and they all work the same way. Upon closer inspection, it turns out that the shutter sleeve, which is

Pros
  • Lots of good vibes
Cons
  • Everything is fine

Don't waste your time and money on this

When I bought it I knew it would have limitations and I was ready to accept them. It has no functionality and requires you to know what you are doing - I think with my 35 years of photography experience I would fall into that category. The first hurdle was that the bellows didn't seem to stay in the position I had set. it to. ok after reading some other reviews i noticed that the set screw was not attached. it was somewhere in the plastic bag the fur came in. So the manufacturer removes the set
