Fotodiox Pro Automatic Macro Extension Tube, 48mm (for Fuji G-Mount GFX)

The Fotodiox Pro Automatic Macro Extension Tube, 48mm (for Fuji G-Mount GFX) is an automatic extension tube that transfers all electronic functions from the lens to the camera, including autofocus and automatic exposure. Macro extension rings are an excellent alternative to expensive macro lenses. They retain the original optical quality and transform a standard lens into a macro lens. By increasing the distance between the camera body and the lens, the minimum focusing distance is reduced, creating the effect of a magnified image of the subject. Because no optical components are added to this extension tube, the image retains the original optical characteristics of the lens.

This is far preferable to close-up lenses attached to the front of the lens via filter thread, which reduce optical quality and produce a blurry image full of artefacts. Adding an extension tube increases the effective aperture, meaning less light reaches the camera sensor. This means you'll need to use a longer shutter speed or higher ISO sensitivity to compensate for the light loss. Your camera, if set to an automatic exposure mode, will handle this automatically. Macro extension tubes offer a simple and affordable way to turn any existing lens into a macro lens.
