[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 365379, member: 12496"] Yes. Extension tubes focus only closer, it will no longer focus at infinity. The wildlife effect you seek is a teleconverter, but NOT extension tubes. Both go behind the lens, but the teleconverter contains glass elements, and extension tubes do not. Extension tubes are for macro, to focus closer than the lens can otherwise focus. Teleconverter instead magnifies focal length of lens. Teleconverter can still focus at infinity, still has same range. It does cost light, requires more exposure. [/QUOTE]
