Fuji’s new extension tubes: To infinity and beyond | Bill Palmer
Back in November of last year you may remember reading my views on the macro options then available for Fuji X-users. The MCEX-11 and MCEX-16 had just been announced and I was quite excited at the prospect; indeed I wrote to Santa in the hope of waking up on Christmas morning with something tubular in my stocking. Sadly either Santa didn’t get my note in time or I was on the Naughty List, because I had to wait until mid-January before I found an MCEX-16 in stock somewhere friendly enough to give me a small but perfectly formed discount. To briefly recap, my macro solution up to this point has been the Olympus OM 50mm f3.5 Macro lens plus some matching auto-extension tubes. I covered the advantages and disadvantages of this setup in the previous article so I won’t repeat them here. Let’s focus instead on the benefits of the MCEX solution………
