Sony NEX Macro Extension Tubes Samples

Sony NEX Macro Extension Tubes with 40mm Rokkor-M Lens



Here are some sample shots using the Sony NEX E-mount macro extension tubes and some Rokkor-M lenses. The tubes contain no optical elements. They move the lens further away from the NEX's APS-C sensor therefore reducing the focusing distance and increasing magnification. The trade off to extension tubes are that more light is needed, which can be compensated with slow shutter speeds or high ISO.

The shots below were handheld in bright daylight which is not ideal for macro shots. A walk around a small park with the NEX-5, tubes, and the 40mm Rokkor-M gives us a different perspective. This fruit below is still unknown to us and was already interesting but at 100% zoom, a small community of insects makes it even more interesting.

Sony NEX Macro Extension Tubes with 90mm Rokkor-M Lens


Here are a couple of shots of a caterpillar using all of the extension tubes and the 90mm Rokkor-M lens at f/8 or f/11. A small tripod was used so the ISO was kept at 200 with a very slow shutter speed.
