Hi everyone.
My passion is macrophotography. Currently, I use a Nikon D90 and a lens Sigma 105mm F2.8 EX DG Macro. I would like to known how I can take photos of smaller objects with sufficient cleanliness (high magnification macro photography, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqRn3at0H60&feature=related).
I'm wondering if I can do it by putting extension tubes between my camera and my lens.

Has anyone an opinion or experiments about automatic extension tubes?

I'm thinking about buying Kenko extension tubes (http://www.kenkoglobal.com/TP-AUTO-EX-TUBE-SET-DG.html).

I'm no expert on macro, but my mate here is and says he uses a Canon 1.4x teleconverter attached to the camera (I'm sure there is a Nikon version), then a 12 mm Kenko tube, and then the lens. His shots ends up looking great! He gets a 4 inch working distance which is apparently about the bare minimum distance where you can still use natural light without too many shadows created by your presence. I hope that helps in some way!

Good luck.

Thanks for your advice. Have a great week-end.

The Kenko tubes are a good way to make excellent macro (of course with tripod). I personally always c that shooting free-hand using a multiplier on my Tamron 1.4 x 90mm F2, 8 Macro.

I tubi Kenko sono un buon mezzo per fare ottime macro ( naturalmente con treppiede ). Io , personalmente c che scatto sempre a mano libera uso un moltiplicatore 1.4 x sul mio Tamron 90mm F.2,8 Macro .

Have a good week and great photo macro

I have a set of Kenko tubes and they work well
