Kenko DG Extension Ring Uniplus Tube

“Extension tubes are designed to enable a lens to focus closer than its normal set minimum focusing distance. Getting closer has the effect of magnifying your subject (making it appear larger in the viewfinder and in your pictures). They are exceptionally useful for macro photography, enabling you to convert almost any lens into a macro lens at a fraction of the cost while maintaining its original optical quality. The DG extension tubes have no optics. They are mounted in between the camera body and lens to create more distance between the lens and film plane. By moving the lens father away from the film or CCD sensor in the camera, the lens is forced to focus much closer than normal. The greater the length of the extension tube, the closer the lens can focus.

The Kenko Uniplus Tube DG (extension ring) is an accessory exclusively designed for use with standard AF lenses to shoot subjects at closer distance with higher magnification.

Provides perfect coupling with automatic aperture, TTL metering and AE mechanism. AF support is dependent on your lens’ maximum aperture. As a rule, the lens has to be set to f/5.6 or brighter in order for the camera’s AF system to work.

This DG Extension tube has upgraded “”Gate-Array IC”” circuitry to work better with digital SLR’s and some of the digital SLR lenses.”
