Kenko Auto Extension Tube Set DG for Nikon 36mm

★★★★★ 4.5 (4)

This set transforms existing Nikon F-mount lenses for close-up work by adding 12mm, 20mm, and 36mm extension tubes between the body and lens. The hollow design maintains full electronic coupling for autofocus and auto-exposure, a key differentiator from cheaper manual-only tubes. It is best for Nikon DSLR shooters wanting to experiment with macro photography without investing in a dedicated macro lens.
