Kenko Corporation announced the release of 10mm and 16mm DG extension tubes set designed for providing macro capabilities to lenses built for Micro Four Thirds and NEX mount.
- Kenko DG Extension Tubes for Sony Nex and Micro Four Thirds
This set of extension tubes can either be used individually (10mm or 16mm) or combined together (the 10mm + 16mm ones). They do not have any optical part but enable lens optics to be farther away from sensor which provides as a result a magnification of image.
The DG extension tubes have full electronic connections which enables lens to operate as usual in terms of focus, exposure and EXIF reading.
