Reddit mentions: The best lens extension tubes

Define "affordable". Good macro lenses tend to cost $150-200.

You'll also have to factor in the cost of additional gear for your scanning setup.

You have to consider whether you want to do a vertical setup or horizontal.

You will need:

• A backlight. People a flash for horizontal (bounced off an adjustable mirror if it doesn't have remote or if it's the camera built-in), or a USB-powered backlit sketching pad for vertical setups.
  
• A plastic frame that will keep your film straight. If you buy slide holders and cut&mount your film into them then holders + sketchpad will be all you need. If you want a horizontal setup you will need something vertical to hold the film between the lens and flash. It gets more complicated if you want to be able to pass uncut rolls through. Some people carve a foldable slide holder so it can allow a roll through. For Nikon there's a slide holder called ES-1 which mounts on 52mm like a filter, this is probably what you want to end up with. But please note that the ES-1 length may or may not be enough for your lens, you may need some spacers and/or adapter rings.
  
• A way to keep the slide and the camera perfectly aligned with each other. For vertical setups people use a tripod with a head that allows the camera to be pointed down. For horizontal setups, if you have something like the ES-1 you just need to level the camera and fire the flash and that's it.
  
  Also for horizontal setups you may find useful a dolly slider. They have several standard tripod mounts, on the dolly as well as at both ends of the slide, and they also make the slides in several lengths. Can be useful if you want to rig something up and attach flash/holder etc. to the mounts with flexible arms.
  
  I've also seen people who simply crafted something similar DIY out of wood. Here's a duplicator. And I'm sure I saw somewhere an example where the guy simply mounted stuff on top of a 2x4 piece of wood, but can't find it right now.
  
  Last but not least there's a thing called a macro bellow which basically takes the place of a macro ring extender, ie. goes between camera and lens, NOT meant as a filter spacer ie. NOT between lens and slide holder.
  
  Very important: the maté support for the slide needs to not have any texture, because it will show on the shot. Try taking a shot of the slide against a LCD monitor and you'll see what I mean, you will get catch the LCD pixels too.
  
  The "customer images" on the Amazon reviews for ES-1 have a couple of very simple horizontal setup examples. And this post links to a vertical setup example.
  
  Speaking of which, you may find this thread useful, I asked about these things a week ago. FWIW, I got a Tamron SP 90mm macro lens and it looks like I'll need to place the slides about 10cm away from the end of the lens when fully extended. I'm looking into whether the ES-1 can help me because I think it only has like 5cm retracted and can add about 2.5cm more, so I would need a spacer and probably an adapter ring (ES-1 is 52mm and the Tamron filter mount is 55mm).

Congrats! I got my A6000 a year ago, such an amazing little beast! I got the Sony 50mm 1.8 for it and recently added a Sigma 16mm 1.4. Both are absolutely amazing lenses, but Sigma is on a whole different level in terms of sharpness.

If you're going for the 50mm range, wait a little bit and see how the Sony 50mm stacks up to the new Sigma 56mm 1.4 that was just now released. If it's anything like the 16mm, then it might be worth the extra price.

A small tip, when you zoom in with that kit lens it shows the focal length on top of the screen, so you can use it to get a sense of how wide a particular prime will look before you buy it.

Oh and look into macro extension tubes if shooting macro is your thing, they're cheap and allow you to do some amazing macro magic.

These are the ones I've got, the 50mm 1.8 is fully functional with it and allowed me to shoot some beautiful stuff. Haven't tested on the other lenses.

I'm planning on snagging a 55-210 next, I know the quality isn't oh so good, but a decent telephoto lens costs an arm and a leg so... And I hear it can be often found on ebay for fairly cheap, since it's a kit lens so the market is over-saturated with it. So if it's also something you want, it's worth checking ebay.

I thought about those Neewer tubes but decided to pay a little more and get the all-metal set. They should be here tomorrow and I can report back OCE I try them out. The cool thing about tubes instead of a macro filter is that you'll be able to use the tubes with any and all E-mount lenses.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JIJNMQM/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awdb_U8buyb8DNRWDT

Also, if you're new to E-mount and not wanting to spend too much, you might consider getting a Fujian(Fotasy) 35mm f/1.7 cctv lens. Super cheap, gives you a lens that has a shallow DOF, great bokeh, and I'm guessing it might be my favorite to use on the extension tubes once I get them

https://www.amazon.com/Fotasy-N35-Mount-Mirrorless-Cameras/dp/B00KWNA1VS

Also, I thought it was nice seeing the various methods compared:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PFgg9zYzCYk

One last edit: from my research, I think the close up filters will reduce your effective aperture and require more light, but I don't think that's the case with extension tubes. Something to keep in mind if you don't have a flash (since I think it would be more necessary with the screw on filters)

> I dont know why, but i feel like my iphone 5s takes better close ups than these lenses and i am not sure why.

Different lenses have different minimum focus distances, smartphones in general can focus pretty damn close while most DSLR/mirrorless lenses are around 1.5ft or more which means they can't do macro very well unless you buy a dedicated macro lens which can focus close.

Thankfully, there are other options out there too. Extension tubes are the cheapest way to get decent macro out of lenses that you currently have. You'll want something like this which is relatively inexpensive and allows for autofocus and stabilization on lenses that have it. You can use either the 16mm, 10mm, or stack them to 26mm to get larger or smaller macro levels.

If you go the extension tube route, in general wider-angle lenses will give you greater macro capabilities faster. A downside to using the tubes is that you'll need to be right on top of your subject. For stationary objects like flowers this is no problem, but if you want to photograph bugs and whatnot you might end up spooking them since you'll be so close.

There is a gap between blowing thousands and investing in a solid set up. I would strongly advise against getting cheap gear. Youre just throwing money away and going to frustrate yourself. Not to toot my own horn, but I feel like I have gotten good results with some cheap gear. Most of those pictures were taken with a crop sensor nikon, a cheap prime lens, and macro spacers.

My recommendation would be to start with a D3200 for $240, a 35mm for $140, and macro tubes $40. That only puts your total at $420, and would give you the ability to get the exact same photos I have in my aforementioned gallery. Most of the time used gear works great, and there is really no reason to spend on new at this level. Get the D3200 first and learn the camera, you can use the /r/photoclass2019 subreddit and the northrup youtube channel for free. The latter also has a book thats highly regarded but I havent used it myself. I would also suggest you look into Dom's work as my personal favorite macro shooter.

Once youve learned the camera, get the lens next, then the macro spacers.

In my experience with that lens, you can stop it down to f/8 and still get crisp shots at the macro level, which really helps save your depth of field.

I know it sucks that there is a price barrier, but I promise you will be much happier investing in good gear than wasting money on 100 different terrible phone lenses.

Hi all! Recent purchase, the famed 58. I bought this hoping to settle down to a one-watch guy, but I'm just not sure I can. The detail work on this watch is wonderful, though: the way the rose gold around the indices brightens up the yellow gold around hands; the paper-like matte finish of the dial; and of course, the perfect proportions.

All that said, I'm moving on from this one and on to the next. I really liked how my macro shots are progressing, though, so I thought I would share here! If anyone is curious, I didn't use a dedicated macro lens for this shot, just a set of very inexpensive macro tube extensions mounted to my 85mm lens. This is slightly cropped from the larger version, which I find more striking but really wanted to showcase the dial here, so I cropped. I'm not sure what the rules are for cross-posting, so I will refrain from posting the imgur sales album directly, but it is in my history.

Some links that show you what is involved if you want to do macro with the Q:

More Pentax Q Macro Experiments

Macro lenses for the Pentax Q

Extention tubes for Q

You probably would get better results with a DSLR, as demonstrated here.
An older DSLR will be fine, and with macro, you are usually going to be using manual focus, so old, inexpensive lenses are a perfectly good option.

You may still want to look at Pentax, because they have maintained excellent backwards compatibility, which makes things easier with used gear.
You could pick up this body and a dedicated 1:1 macro lens, with auto-aperture and stay under budget.

I recently got the A6000 with a 16-50mm lens and got some extension tubes to try my hands at Macro photography.

I have set the camera to Macro under SCN, using the 10mm extension tube, then changed the focus to take pictures. I shoot in ARW and then tried using Darktable to make the pictures look better.
I didn't have a lot of luck with good pictures so far, there is a lot of noise around the subject and there is maybe only one bit of the subject that is good.

Here's an example of an edited picture.


I am a total beginner when it comes to photography and read up quite a bit about macro photography, but I am just unsure about what settings to use or how to use the camera in general for macros.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Any more details I should add please ask.

Extension tubes have no glass, air is air. Kenko tubes perform every bit as good optically as Nikon. A set of three is $129. Not much chance finding a set for $40.

They will probably perform best with the prime 35mm, but you may prefer the focal length of one of the zooms, and quality may be acceptable.

What does fit in your budget is a reversing ring for that 35mm - $35. There are off brands that are cheaper, but I have not researched the mechanical quality.

Considering the cost, reversing rings give great results. A very common way to find out if you like macro. This writer likes the generic brand of rings. $12.00

If I focus anywhere past the center focal point, then I like you said, the clarity sucks with my lens.

Wow, I never knew about Kenko tubes! I know my lens isn't anywhere near as good as the $1,000+ ones so I found this Kenko tube on amazon: [would you recommend?](https://www.amazon.com/Kenko-Extension-Tubes-Digital-Cameras/dp/B000JG88JU/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_2? s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1494113957&sr=1-2-fkmr2&keywords=nikon+kenko+tube) If I focus anywhere past the center focal point, the clarity sucks with my lens. Thank you for the kenko tube suggestion. It's something that is of great interest to me as I like taking macro photos.

One thing that keeps going through my mind as I shoot butterflies and other hasty creatures is, "You miss every shot you don't take." I keep fearing that if I don't hurry and focus, I'd miss another really great frame. I suppose I'd just need to practice more, but your right. I can't give up quality. :)

Thanks guys. Ya, I don't need manual focus, but I do need to control my aperture.

The Kenko set seems like the best one, but it's kind of expensive at $250 and is more than I was hoping to spend.

Macro photography is one of my favorite things!
This setup is around $100 (50mm lens is optional and not part of this total) and a great place to start.

The extension tubes, when used on an (optional) 50mm lens, allows you to be anywhere from 21cm away from the subject, to 4.2cm depending on how you stack them :)

The lightbox kit comes with various backdrops and lighting. You can also use paper as a background if need be.

I also extremely recommend a tripod, when you're that close to the subject the depth of field becomes shallow. You may also want to set a timer that way pressing the shutter doesn't cause shake.

You'll probably eventually want an actual macro lens, as well as a better tripod for outdoor excursions, but if you're just doing this and staying in one place this is just fine :)

Specifically, you need to look for lenses that say "macro".

The actual focal length really depends on exactly what you hope to shoot.

The reality is that you're stepping into "specialty" accessories for photography which means "more expensive".

Most likely you're looking at the 60mm f/2.8 Macro, or the 100mm f/2.8 Macro.

These are the Kenko Extension Tubes, which you mount between the body and the lens.

They move the focal plane further from the rear element in the lens which means you can focus more closely. They're very handy, but if you're at a point where you need to spend money anyway, I'd advise that you just go for a proper macro lens because the 55-250 lens you already own isn't exactly the most amazing image quality. (it's very much a starter / kit lens).

Good luck!

>And because they are literally just tubes, you will have the same optical quality as the original lens.

Almost, I've used tubes on my 85 1.8g and it tends to go a bit soft and slightly vieled. I would never consider that combo a proper replacement for my Tamron 90mm macro, but it's a compromise I make when I want to travel light. The results aren't bad. There's just a noticeable improvement when using the macro lens. I'd still recommend the OP try tubes out if they are just testing the waters for macro photography.

I'm surprised I haven't seen more recommendations for macro extension tubes.

https://www.amazon.com/Kenko-Auto-Extension-Canon-Mount/dp/B000U8Y88M

I eventually purchased the Canon 100mm macro and the Laowa 25mm f/2.8 2.5-5x, but before that, the extension tubes let me really play with Macro photography and get some good shots. There are a lot of limitations (aka, shallow depth of field) to Macro photography that it will behoove you to get some practice with. Especially once you go with higher magnification.

Is there a reason why you want reverse rings instead of extension tubes? Extension tubes

• usually come in different lengths so you can combine them to get different magnification ratios.
  
• are not dependent on the filter thread diameter, so you can just buy an E-mount one and have it work on all of your (native or adapted) lenses.
  
• can optionally come with electronic pass-though, which allow you to have aperture control, AF, OSS, etc with native lenses. The first one is especially important because E-mount lenses close their aperture down when powered down.
  
  I have this set of fotga extension tube for E-mount. It comes with 10mm + 16mm so you get 3 combinations (10, 16, 10+16) of magnification, all the electronic goodness, and it is not terribly expensive either. I've also seen those without electronic pass-through that are even cheaper ($10~15) and go up to 50mm combined.

I use some Neewer or Meike or something from Amazon. These are metal. They'll work with whatever lens you want, but make sure the focal length is greater than the extension tube focal length.

The raynox should work, as the extension tubes fit between the lens and the body.

Ah, okay... so it seems like cheap tubes like this one don't have wiring built in, while pricier ones like this one do.

It seems like it would be so simple to just have the electrical connections, the cheaper ones could do it...

Oh wait, here's a cheap one with the stuff built in.

The answer to (1) depends on what lens you are using with the extension tubes, but yeah they should be fine if you just want something cheap. Note that those tubes have no electrical contacts, so you will have to stop down the lens on your camera, hold down the DoF preview button (if your camera has one) then disconnect the lens from the camera so that the aperture stays closed down. Sounds kind of unreliable, and not having any easy aperture control is a paint. You also won't have autofocus, which can actually be really handy for shooting negatives.

For cheap tubes, I'd rather pay an extra $10-20 and get ones that support aperture control and autofocus like these or these or these.

As far as (2) yeah tracing paper or white wax paper or baking paper works well. The brighter your light is, the thicker of paper you can use, and the more diffuse the light is going to be. People also use white plexiglass / plastic sheets if you have those handy.

As long as you're trying an extension tube, and not one of those macro lens attachments that screw onto the end of your lens like a filter. The magnification one is useless on those. If you have 20-40 bucks for probably okay results then definitely give it a shot. I'd love to hear how it goes.

Macro extension tubes get you into the macro world for pennies on the dollar of a real macro lens. Of course there's drawbacks but for $40 these macro tubes have done the job just fine for me with my D3200 and a 18-105 lens. I only just recently got them but they feel solid enough and work as advertised.

So far, I'm shooting inanimate macro objects in a studio environment so the only drawback of having to focus stack images isn't terrible. I could see having issues trying to get good (workable sure) macro shots with extension tubes.

I have a sony a6000 with 50mm prime lens. You could get the macro version but this makes for a killer all-around lens with beautiful bokeh. I used 26mm extension rings to get it to focus at close range

Lighting is very important too. The best shots are not taken directly under your grow light

I don't know about OP's, but this is the set I'm very happy with: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ABST1UQ/ . An important thing to consider is their CPU contacts, which allows the extensions to communicate with CPU lenses.

I have Zeikos extension tubes for Nikon (they have canon too) they run about $60 ($50 for canon don't know why it's cheaper).

It works really well. I've heard of some extension tubes getting stuck on lenses but I have never had this problem with them. You can stack them for greater magnification.

Yeah, the Polaroid-branded set you're looking at here will do just fine. I bought this set a few months ago and they've been awesome. They are functionally the same as the Polaroid set you're looking at.

Auto-focus will still work with this adapter although the range will be limited. Auto exposure and auto aperture will also work just fine.

Something I never see mentioned often is cheap macro tubes like this. I swear these are the most unknown cheap piece of camera gear that is actually good. I got a set similar to these ones a couple of years ago and they've been great. They allow you to use your own lenses, and since they go behind the lens there isn't a ton of quality loss vs a cheap piece of glass that just screws onto the front. They even have a passthrough for the electronics so autofocus still works.

Here's some examples using those tubes shot through Canon L glass.

I'm guessing you mean a lens made for a 35mm film camera? You would just call that a vintage lens or a legacy lens. Calling it a 35mm lens is confusing because there are also lenses at the 35mm focal length like this

I think vintage lenses would work well for what you want to use them for. Here is a good list of good ones to choose from.

You can get a set of extension tubes like this as a cheap way to take macro shots. They will work with any lens but auto focus might be affected.

It might be an unpopular opinion around here, but you might also be better off getting a compact dslr...you could get quite a bit more for your price limit of $800...

Thanks for the reply. I've seen tubes with the electrical pass throughs like this one for $50 and more expensive ones, $169)

Just a huge price difference there. The later would motivated me to buy a non powered one and look for a cheap manual macro lens. The first one is cheap enough to take a risk on if you think my 16mm would work with it.

Hello friend, my main recommendation is to not invest in a Nikon 40mm macro. I have had great results with extension tubes, which would work fine with your 70-200 f/2.8. These are crappy pictures and not very great, but are examples of extension tubes with a standard 55-200mm f/4-5.6 lens. Here are the tubes that I use which work perfectly with my shitty beginner lens.

Save some money and get a macro extension tube set to help you photograph the rings.

Extension tubes. These move the lens further away from the sensor and move your range of focus.

Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Xit-XTETN-Focus-Extension-Cameras/dp/B00AEEDRFM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1473335499&sr=8-2&keywords=extension+tubes+nikon

It is a very cheap way to see if you want to spend the money on a dedicated macro lens.

Macro is one of the most technical sides of photography, a good starter lens is the 100mm macro from canon http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00004XOM3?pc_redir=1410422622&robot_redir=1

If you want more magnification after that you can add extension tubes to the lens, but then is getting hard to manage the focus of the lens and the working distance can be awkward http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000U8Y88M?pc_redir=1410295973&robot_redir=1

Finally if what you are really after is a microscope like magnification the 65mm macro from canon will do the trick, This is a highly specialised lens and I will not recommend it to a beginner. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00009XVD5/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1410489652&sr=8-1&pi=SX200_QL40

Shot it on a pure white envelope for easy background removal, outside in the shade for extra light. Used the gorillatorch to get some angled light so you could see the features a little better. I took these shots just to get the coin identified by a collector. I forgot which extension tube I used for this shot.

right here. They are really great for the price usually I use the 12mm or 20mm one on my 55-250mm lens.

If you buy extension tubes like these you can try out macro without investing in a brand new lens. Those lenses you listed aren't really true 'macro' either, they just focus pretty close.

Macro Extension tubes - ~$60

Yongnuo 560 III Speedlight - ~$70

The speedlight is fantastic and with a set of the radio triggers for about $30 it's a really cheap way to get the flash off camera.

Soft, pas super net. Tu peux faire de la macro avec n'importe quel objo en utilisant des bagues-allonge qui ne coûtent pas cher (j'ai les mêmes, ça conserve l'AF et tout).

The 1.8G DX Primes just have generally better performance than the kit lens at the equal length. Brighter, better auto-focus, and so on.

What are you trying to do macro work with? If you're going to do shots of things that aren't moving, (Dollar bills, coins, so on), then the 18-55mm kit lens with a set of 35 dollar macro tubes works pretty well (Just be sure to get tubes that have auto-focus tabs). If you want to shoot more difficult things, then whats your budget, and what are you trying to do?

Like other users have said, some tubes allow you to autofocus.


https://www.amazon.com/MK-S-AF3A-Extension-Adapter-Mirrorless-FE-Mount/dp/B01MRXL7Q1/ref=sr_1_9?keywords=emount+macro+lens&qid=1556041655&s=electronics&sr=1-9


They do mount between the lens and the camera, allowing you to decrease the distance from the subject, with the same minimum focusing distance.

You don't really need autofocus when shooting macro stuff, so I suggest a macro lens. A set of extension tubes is fun to have, too. I use a 55mm f/2.8 micro-Nikkor and Vivitar tubes.

http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product/Camera-Lenses/1442/Micro-NIKKOR-55mm-f%252F2.8.html

http://www.amazon.com/Vivitar-VIV-EXT-N-Extension-Tubes-Nikon/dp/B00570TM5W

For a few more dollars, you can get a set of extension tubes like these. There are tonnes of different cheap brands, they're all pretty much the same. They have pass-through for the electronic contacts so that you can frame and focus wide open and then the aperture will close down when you take the shot as normal.

I personally use the Kenko equivalent of these. They're a little more expensive on Amazon but I couldn't be more pleased with them. I don't know if they are actually $100 worth of extra quality, but they came highly recommended from another photography forum.

Well there's the native Sony one right in your price range.

Another option is to get a set of macro tubes for your kit lens. They'll be a lot fiddlier and AF might be problematic, but the price is hard to argue with and I've seen some great pictures out of nothing but a kit lens and some cheap tubes.

Buy a set of extensions for macro photography? They are like $15 and let you focus at closer ranges.


https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N0QZLNJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I bought a set of Kenko Macro Tubes the other day and they are fun to play with. They aren't the cheapest tubes but they have electrical contact pass thru so you can have auto focus and aperture control. Here's the first test shot I did with it.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Neewer-Black-Extension-cameras-Nikkor/dp/B00ABST1UQ


Are extension tubes like this worth getting? I'd like to dabble with Macro photography but not really looking at getting new lenses at the moment. For around £40 I wouldn't mind trying these out.

http://www.amazon.com/Kenko-Auto-Extension-Canon-Mount/dp/B000U8Y88M/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1301327465&sr=8-2

I have heard good things about these Kenko's, though no first hand experience. The description says you maintain AF, but you'll need a fast prime to maintain enough light for it to work.

Unfortunately... I don't believe there are extension tubes that allow for Auto-features. The other ones listed are the two most common.

I bought these ones (they might be the same as El_chupacabra):

A recent search, they might have a small budget extension tube, that does allow Auto-features... but I haven't actually used them:
https://www.amazon.com/Micnova-Extension-Close-up-Exposure-Cameras/dp/B06X6GL71F/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1493855016&sr=8-2&keywords=extension+tubes+pentax

Yeah, I think so. This one:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000Q8AD7G/

With these tubes:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MRXL7Q1/

If you already have a good 50mm lens, I would suggest this combo to get started:

Decent set of extension tubes

Ring Flash

Optional:

Tripod Macro Focusing Rail

Autofocus systems can struggle doing macro with extension tubes so I would suggest manual focusing. Also, try and run a fairly small aperture (f/8 to f/16).

Yeah, macro is one of the areas where a crop body might be argued to be an advantage.

Since you already have the fine 100 macro, I would suggest you look into extension tubes. It's not clear to me that the 65 macro would let you do anything you cannot already do.

Get a set of macro extension tubes and you can shoot super close. I used the tubes on my 18-55mm lens for this shot of a water drop just milliseconds before hitting a flower.

Couple of options for Nikon extension tubes;

Kenko Tubes

Zeikos Tubes

Extension tubes are the way to go on a budget!

Here are a couple shots I took with the kit lense and Meike plastic extension adapters-

Left is with the extension tubes (both).

I use these. For a fraction of the cost and allows control of aperture and AF.

First, read this (http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/macro-extension-tubes-closeup.htm) then buy the Neewer metal extension tubes (Neewer Metal AF Auto-focus Macro Extension Tube Set 10mm&16mm for Sony NEX E-mount Camera NEX 3/3N/5/5N/5R/A6000/A6300 and Full Frame A7 A7S/A7SII A7R/A7RII A7II https://www.amazon.com/dp/B010D2S5D8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_lmiuyb6SPAAED) or the Marumi Achromatic DHG close up filter accordingly. I have both. I have even used both at the same time just for kicks. Note to self: buy focusing rail.

This is what I bought. They occasionally lose their connect with the body, but usually jiggering it a little bit, or just turning the body off and back on again, will fix the issue: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IR5CSV8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05__o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They are small rings you put between the lens and the body. They move the focal distance of the lens closer to the camera so you can focus on stuff closer (and hence make it look bigger). The disadvantage over a "macro lens" as far as I understand it is you get a somewhat shallower focus range (so you may need to move the camera in and out to get the right zone), and when you have the rings installed you can't focus on things far away.

The ones I use with my A7iii are these.

Since extension tubes are just that - hollow tubes with no glass - there is not much to get confused about. The only thing to keep in mind is to get ones which allow the camera to communicate with the lens. These are very cheap ones and have the necessary contacts: https://www.amazon.com/Mcoplus-Extnp-Focus-Extension-Cameras/dp/B00ORLQJR6/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=extension+tubes+nikon&qid=1556668279&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1

The first link (extension tubes) seems to be non-coupled (no contact between lens and body) meaning you can't properly control the aperture setting and your metering will be out of whack. Electronically coupled extension tubes will cost a lot more.

The second link (diopter filters) will degrade image quality, especially near the edges. However, you will retain autofocus, autoexposure and aperture control.

Disregard the third link.
