GiantBen Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I don't want to buy a macro lens, and was thinking of trying out an extension tube for my olympus e500. Can anyone tell me why I would buy the olympus one for $100, as opposed to this generic one for $10? I'm assuming the auto-control features still work on the Olympus and not the generic? If I'm planning on doing manual focus/etc, does this matter? Thanks. I really know nothing about all this. Link to comment
GiantBen Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 Bought the generic one. It is basically useless for aquarium photography. This should have been obvious, but I didn't thnk about it: it allows no control of the aperture, which is all electronic. I got a decent macro of something under normal lighting situations, but for aquarium photos, this is isn't really an option. At least it was only $16 shipped. I may get the olympus one at some point.

GiantBen Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 If anyone cares, this is the one shot I used the tube for that was under noemal lighting. This is a small (1.5")xmas decoration. Link to comment
