Hello, Barbara; the magnification is dependent on the lens you're using. 60mm or 90mm are both acceptable options. The WR (weather resistant) component of the lens is nothing more than an o-ring. The ring on the back outside portion of the lens mount is not designed to be used in the rain; it simply helps prevent water seepage between the camera and the lens mount. However, because the mount between a camera and lens creates a seal when metal meets metal, this claim is debatable. As a result, some people doubt the validity of the claim that the WR actually provides WR, claiming instead that it is merely a marketing tool. In the end, Fuji cameras were not designed to be used in the rain without protection. In general, I believe that this should not be the deciding factor. These ext tubes are the best for your system if you need a higher reproduction ratio. I had no problems with my gear in Costa Rica, but I didn't try to shoot out in the open when it was raining, and none of it was weather resistant, except for a GoPro that we used underwater. br>Regards,br>Roozbehbr>OC camera OC camera OC camera OC camera OC camera OC camera OC camera OC camera OC camera OC camera OC camera OC camera
Yes, the 11mm extension tube and the 16mm extension tube can be stacked. In my testing, however, I discovered that at f/4, there is a loss of contrast and fine detail - f/8, which is similar to diffraction. At f/22, however, excellent resolution and contrast were obtained. I used the Fujinon XF60mmF2 to conduct the test. On an X-ray, there are four R macros.
All Fuji lenses can be used with extension tubes. When it comes to working distance from the subject, magnification, and working distance, some lenses are better than others for macro work. The greater the depth of field, the closer you must be to the subject, and the shorter the focal length, the greater the depth of field. My favorite Fuji lens for macro work with extension tubes is the 90mm f2. The 100- In this case, 400mm is also intriguing.

Selected User Reviews For FUJIFILM Macro Extension Tube MCEX-11,Black
This high-quality product Almost any Fuji lens can be turned into a "macro" lens with this high-quality piece. Given that Fuji's macro lineup consists of only a few lenses, this is a huge plus. Simply connect this piece to your camera (as if it were a lens) and then your lens to the extension tube. That concludes our discussion. Then you're shooting macro-specifications, and I mean REALLY macro, depending on which lens you connect. I used to have a lens that could focus down to 1mm! br>br>Now, one of the most important aspects of this extension tube to keep in mind is this: It's designed specifically for macro photography, and it'll only focus your lens in a very small field of view. You won't be able to put this on and then shoot something from afar, for example. It will only focus on objects that are very close to the lens, no further. br>br>Based on my own testing, the best way to use this extension tube is to mount your camera on a tripod or similar mount and then focus manually. Although, sadly, this item is not manufactured in Japan like most of Fuji's wonderful "XF" lenses, it does present a quality look and feel. br>br>However, because the field of view for focusing when using this extension tube is SO narrow, manual focusing may be necessary to get a really sharp shot focused on what you desire. br>br>Although, sadly, this item is not manufactured in Japan like most of Fuji's wonderful "XF" lenses, It has a solid feel in the hand and is reassuringly secure when attached to the camera and lens. The extension tube (much like a lens) clicks into place, and the lens you're using clicks into place on the tube as well. A spring-loaded wrench is needed to remove it. The device can then be unlocked by pulling on the based lever on the side of the extension tube. br>br>For under $100, you can convert your entire Fuji lens collection into macro lenses, which is pretty cool. The included documentation includes lens selection suggestions as well as a table showing how the extension tube affects maximum magnification, working distance, and shortest distance for each of 14 Fuji lenses. This information is also available in electronic format on Fuji's support website. br>br>Here are some helpful tidbits from the provided documentation:
- "The focus range is limited when the Macro Extension Tube is attached. The camera must be moved forward and back to find a focus point. Although autofocus is available in the focus range, fine adjustments should be made with manual focus. "br>br>- - - - - - - - - - "The Macro Extension Tube increases the distance between the aperture and the sensor, resulting in a darker image from the lens. " When shooting in AE, however, you can get a good exposure. If you want to use an external flash manually, you can do so by adjusting the flash compensation. "br>br>A fantastic "specialty" device, there isn't much to complain about when you consider what you get and how much it costs! It truly enhances (pardon the pun) the capabilities of your Fuji lenses. Five out of five stars. br>br>Note: If you're looking for a unique way to express yourself, try using the words "creative br>A 16mm version of the extension tube is also available. The 11mm version appears to be the most popular, but check out Fuji's table to see how each of these extension tubes affects different Fuji lenses.
These are difficult to master and are far less useful than a true macro lens. The downside is that, unlike a true macro lens, you can only shoot macro with this attached to your camera. It shifts the focus point so that it's impossible to focus on objects that are too far away - Obviously, it depends on the lens and the light, but I consider "distant" to be anything more than a few inches away in some cases. However, it costs a fraction of the price of the 60mm lens and allows for excellent macro photography. All of the camera controls, including focus and exposure, work as expected. I'm using an X-Trans sensor to capture my images. e3 and used the 23mm, 50mm, and 55mm lenses to test this. All of the 200mm lenses produced different but always usable results.
I'm using it with a Fuji 16-megapixel camera. The lens is a 55mm zoom. When zoomed in, it's fantastic! The images are clear and sharp. The key is to keep the aperture high so that the images don't appear too blurry and abstract; this device also works best in bright light because it darkens what the camera sees naturally. It has definitely satisfied my desire for good closeup shots without necessitating the purchase of a new macro lens for a thousand dollars.
The extension tubes add instant macros to my Fuji group of lenses; however, unlike a true macro lens, my infinity focus appeared to be off; however, I would not leave this on the camera; it is a specialty item that is small enough to tuck into a pocket and pull out when I want that macro look; I purchased the front and back caps separately and love how seamless it looks when used with the camera. This is almost a must-have kit item, in my opinion.
It performs far better than any of the aftermarket macro tubes I tried first in an attempt to save money. We've made the following errors: (br>br>One thing to keep in mind if you're getting this but have never used a macro tube before. There's a limit to how far you can focus! It's not like a macro lens, where you can turn it into a 50mm portrait by flipping a switch.
This 11mm extension tube is perfect for my Fujifilm X-T1. series of cameras and lenses for close-up photography increase your photography skills It's comfortable to wear and works as advertised with the camera. br>br>Against: It's a bit pricey, and you don't even get a protective pouch or case to keep the unit in when not in use for that price. That Fujifilm is a bit of a bargain.
Allows me to focus a little closer with the Fuji macro lens at 80mm without losing autofocus or stabilization. This is an excellent product.
Exceptional outcomes!.
