[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 433369, member: 14443"] btw that tube set is way overpriced. its mostly plastic and stacking will cause flex and wobble and throw your whole tiny adjustments off. the Af doesnt work well if it ever does and I had returned mine. I bought a set like this which is much more stable. I never used AF when doing any macro work because the af cant do minor adjustments well. its so much faster to just adjust the focus ring. fast precise and youll catch the moment you need faster than relying on your AF to lock. its all metal and no flex or wobble at all. it does its job [B]very [/B]well. I also had the kenko set but I have no idea where I put it and didnt see a reason to spend $120 for macro rings. thats crazy.
