I recently bought extension tubes for my Fujifilm X-A3 mirrorless camera. It would help me take macro shots a whole lot better.

I bought it for less than 20usd (1000php) and it came in a set of 2 tubes.

• One 16mm tube
• One 10mm tube

I can use one of them or both at the same time, it depends on what I need.

They are also equipped with the electrical connectors automatic lenses have so I can still use those functions my kit lens has, including auto-focus and optical image stabilization.

Here are sample shot comparisons:

I took shots of the same subject at different distances from the lens. I've included the focal point of the lenses I used in each shot. The first focal lengths are that of the kit lens - it has a focal length of 16mm to 50mm. The 2nd set of lengths are of the extension tubes: 10mm and 16mm means I used one single tube, if you see 26mm there that means I used the both at the same time.

3 inches away from subject. Focal length: 16 mm

10 inches away from subject. Focal length: 50 mm

3 inches away from subject. Focal length: 16+10 mm

1/2 inches away from subject. Focal length: 16+10 mm

10 inches away from subject. Focal length: 50+10 mm

4 inches away from subject. Focal length: 50+10 mm

3 inches away from subject. Focal length: 16+16 mm

1/2 inches away from subject. Focal length: 16+16 mm

0 inches away from subject. Focal length: 16+16 mm

10 inches away from subject. Focal length: 50+16 mm

5 inches away from subject. Focal length: 50+16 mm

2 inches away from subject. Focal length: 50+16 mm

10 inches away from subject. Focal length: 50+26 mm

5 inches away from subject. Focal length: 50+26 mm

1 inches away from subject. Focal length: 50+26 mm

As you can see - some shots are not really usable and some can't really be called macro at all. However, most are usable and looks really great, considering I didn't even spend more than 20usd to get these extension tubes.

How the set-up looks like.

Thanks for dropping by my blog. You have a wonderful day! I will share some more macro shots once I've compiled some good shots.
