Unless you have lenses with physical rings: NO APERTURE CONTROL!!!!!!!!

Your lenses will all be stopped down to their minimums. This will make focusing extremely extremely extremely difficult (even in bright sunlight), and you'll need to really slow down your shutter/jack up the ISO to compensate for shooting at f/22 or f/32.

Oh, and no communication contacts either. So no auto-focus.



Be afraid. Be very very afraid.





Better yet, save your egg money and wait until you can buy some Kenkos.

That set should work just fine, unlike the first one. The important thing that I see is the set of electrical contacts, that will allow communication between your camera and your lens.

How do you think the 18-55 lens will work for doing Marco.

I've managed to get some spectacular macro shots using my 18-55, and a set of extension tubes similar to that second set.

Get the Kenkos. Although a little bit more expensive, they have the contacts so you can use (not very practical for macro) auto-focus AND your aperture values will be taken into account by the camera and light meter.

^^^ Either the Kenko set that Marcel mentioned, or look at Vello. I believe the Vello is very similar to the Kenko set but is less expensive.
