Does exactly what I want it to [Posted on 2008-07-24]
I have been pleased with this extension in every way possible. I do a lot of macros of plants for a class that I teach - the macro shots really help to identify plants!
Very well built [Posted on 2008-08-08]
I purchased this item for use with my 50mm lens and E3 and I have been very impressed. I use it with the 50mm for macro shot just outstanding.
Olympus EX-25mm Macro Extension Tube [Posted on 2008-08-08]
Beyond expectations. Attached to my Zuiko 50mm Macro even set to auto-focus have captured some incredible insects. see: http://bugguide.net/node/view/211149 I use the Olympus E3 professionally and could not live any longer without this capability. Great value! Brings the 50mm to .98, just missing TRUE macro specs, but the results are astounding!
Outstanding! [Posted on 2008-08-11]
I bought this tube to use it with my new 70-300mm. Still I have not tried the tube with it. however, I tested it with the 40-150mm f4 and the result was incredible. you will have to use the manual focus which is recommended for macro shots anyway.
It's high quality kit (made in Japan) and the warranty is worldwide. this is good solution if you can't buy macro lens but great if you have one. Combining this kit with a macro lens will make unimaginable photos.
you must know that using this tube means you can't shot anything except macro unless you remove it from the camera. also you need to be close enough. at least with the 40-150mm.
whether you have a macro lens or not, this kit is a must if you like to take macro shots. Highly recommended.
Jewelry photography on a budget [Posted on 2008-08-25]
I bought this extension tube to see if it would have the ability to take pictures of jewelry. Obviously you need the right set-up, a tripod, lighting etc., but the trick with jewelry is not to get too close because the camera (lense) tends to show up in any polished surface. I'd read some reviews on macro lenses and realized they focus so close to the subject that somebody warned of not bumping or scratching the lense on whatever you're trying to photograph, which for me just wouldn't work. I haven't had a chance to try it properly yet but it looks like it's going to work just fine with the 42-150mm lense that came with the E510 2 lense kit. My old film camera did the same thing with a 75-150mm zoom lense, where it will focus approximately 9 inches or so from the subject, (using an extension tube and a tripod), stop it down to f22 to get the maximum depth of field, and using the zoom ring to focus on the subject since the extension tube changes the dynamics of the lense and the focus ring doesn't work in that situation.
