Nikon Kenko Auto Extension Tube Set DG for 36mm

28.6 Professional Score
36mm Nikon AF
Why we recommend this ▼

This set transforms existing Nikon F-mount lenses for close-up work with three tubes (12mm, 20mm, and 36mm) while retaining electronic communication for metering and autofocus. Its all-metal build quality and included mount caps provide durability and protection that budget alternatives often lack. This is best for Nikon DSLR owners wanting to experiment with macro photography without investing in a dedicated macro lens.
