I've been looking at those tubes for my Nikon D80. Is this a good set to go with?



Thanks,

Sorry for not seeing this sooner, Chad. I looked at the link and have never heard of that brand before. In reading the description, the only thing that concerns me is the lack of Autofocus. Many use manual focus only for macro work but it may be a worthy concern.

I use the Canon brand of extension tubes and I like to use them for butterflies, even in flight. No way I'd want to try manually focusing in that case. The Kenko brand are far less expensive than the camera brand and allow full functionality. They're about double the price of the linked ones above; however, it may boil down to how important having AF functionality to you is.
