I am interested in dew drop refraction - would I attach this to the mount and then attach my DFA macro lens to the extention?

These go "between" the body and the lens. They don't have the electronic contacts, so if you have no aperture ring, you wouldn't be able to control the aperture or stop-down. I think you have to stop-down a lot for those reflections in dewdrops, if that's what you mean. You're probably better off if you used the autofocus type extension tubes like the Kenko, Meike, etc. These tubes work best with the older film slr lenses with manual focus and aperture rings.

I used this with a Canon dslr, k-mount to eos adapter, and pentax m 50mm 1.7. This macro extension tubes doesn't have electronic connections so I hope your dfa macro lens has manual aperture control on the lens. Since I don't own a pentax dlsr I am not sure, but if your lens does not have the manual aperture control on the lens you may have to do a work around like I would do with my regular canon lenses when I do freelensing. (while the camera is on, set aperture and while pushing depth of field button dismount the lens thereby locking in the aperture needed - it works for Canon dslr, but not as convenient as manual aperture control) I used this with a Canon dslr, k-mount to eos adapter, and pentax m 50mm 1.7.

Attaches to the camera body, the lens would then be attached to the extention tube.

The extension tubes go between the back of the lens and the camera body. They permit the lens to focus closer.

The lense will certainly fit the mount, but because it is made for a DX sensor the light circle will not cover the entire sensor of an FX camera. If you are going from DX to FX you are going to need to buy new lenses or live with the reduced coverage of your DX lenses. If you know someone with a full frame camera try the lense out or go to a camera store and bring a CF card with you so that you can try it out first hand. There might also be an issue with the contacts on the lense matching up, I have read that this happens in some cases when the lense is not a Nikon.

For macro work you would really want a lens ratio of 5:1, but as you can imagine those are a bit pricey. In response to your question of whether or not it is good for macro work, I would say it's alright. There is such a thing as a poor mans macro which is essentially four filters you place on your lens with various levels of magnification. This is a very affordable option as it will probably cost you less than 20 dollars. However, in doing so your depth of field will be very shallow. I suggest googling and doing research about it before you make a purchase.

The wide angle lens is supposed to be attached to the macro lens. In fact it only works with the macro attached. If you're holding the macro lens it should say macro on the side and if the wide angle is attached it will also say wide on the top portion. With the ones i received the wide angle won't fit onto the clip without the macro on the bottom and the lens cover only goes over the wide angle lens. You should have two lens covers, one in the fisheye and one on the wide angle lens which should be attached to the macro lens.

No. If you have the 100mm macro you will need an adaptor. For the record, I love the 1-5X lens and this Twin Light.

Is your Blackmagic an EF mount? If so, it should work. The mounting to the lens can be really tight - like "I'm concerned I might break something" tight. Double check you are putting it on right, and twist just a bit harder.It's hard to get off too. I believe there are youtube vids showing how to do this - I suggest searching.

If you are referring to a traditional macro lense/ ring, the answer is, not without an adapter. The filter holder is threaded on the outside of the ring, unlike traditional holders that are threaded on the inside. However, the FotodioX 53mm WonderPana Go +10 Macro Filter will work just fine.

Greetings, Not. I am using this ZWO ASI120MC in refractor Scientific Explorer of 6 "

Yes, you have to attach a small metal ring that is self adhesive, the lens sticks to that, I've gotten some great macro photos and when I tell people it was from my iPhone they call me a liar thinking in using a DSLR

I have not seen any problems yet, but I'm only using it on my macro lens and a low f-stop for a good depth of field. I haven't tried a wide open f-stop yet.

Yes, Tony, I have the 60mm Oly macro lens on my OMD-EM5. It mounts just fine..also on my OMD-EM10

This adapter does not have glass. It won't have an infinity focus, but will suit your macro needs. I bought it for macro use as well.

If you attempt this your image will suffer from distortion and the image quality will be reduced. Its a good add on to the kit lens to practice macro work, but its advised that you use manual focus when doing so.

I got the "MULTI-ADAPTER MA5-4" from this website [ http://www.desertskyastro.com/Dovetails.html ] $25 plus $6 shipping. I have the scope attached to a Celeston CG-2 mount I got for around $120 on Ebay. It's fine for just viewing but I wouldn't recommend it for photography which I am not into. I highly recommend getting the double stacking filter if you haven't gotten it already...it's very much worth it. It greatly enhances the viewing experience.

It attaches to the 67mm lens that I have. It works really good but I found it works best using manual settings. I do mostly portrait type photography, but its fun to use the macro for a change of "scenery". Have fun. Teresa S.

I use this item as part of my macro kit because I don't want to pay for or carry around a macro lens. Having said that, I'm sure that there macro lenses out there that provide better magnification and possibly better image quality depending on the merit of whatever lens you use the 500D on. If you put this on a high quality lens (Canon L glass, zeiss, etc.) you'll be thrilled with the result, put it on an inexpensive "kit" lens and you might not be so happy. On a moderately good lens it should do well for jewelry photography.

Like Chris, I have no experience with D series lenses. On G series lenses, they work fine. But there are a couple of caveats to be aware of: First, if you stack the tubes for greater magnification, you may find that your connection becomes intermittent or stops completely. That is because the Kenko tubes are not completely rigid, and will flex when stacked. This is especially problematic with heavier lenses. Second, AF is not all that useful with high magnification. Your depth of field gets very, very shallow. If you are doing true macro work, you will probably want to manually focus. The AF can get you started, but you will probably want to fine-tune the focus manually. The best way to do that is to use Live view and magnify the image once you've composed the basic shot. Focusing rails are very useful for this focus fine-tuning. FWIW
