Fujifilm Macro Extension Tube MCEX-11 | Randall Cipriano

Currently, the only macro capable lens from Fujifilm is the XF60mm F2.4 R. Unfortunately, the magnification factor of the XF60 doesn’t really afford it the title of a real macro lens. For those left wanting for a better and cheaper macro solution than the Zeiss Touit 50mm, Fujifilm just announced the MCEX-16 and MCEX-11 macro extension tubes. The MCEX-16 extends the barrel to 16mm while the MCEX-11 extends it to 11mm. The longer the extension, the larger the magnification. The extenders do have lens contacts for passing on autofocus and aperture data to the body so you won’t lose any functionality with XF and XC lenses. I don’t have any of the X-Mount Zeiss Touit lenses so I can’t say for sure if these will work with them. For these series of images, I tested the MCEX-11 with the XF23, XF27, XF35, XF56 and XF18-55. All processed in Adobe Camera RAW except for the XF18-55 shots which are in JPEG…….
