Rosco Fluorescent Lighting Sleeves/Tube Guards are a very reliable and cost-effective system for easy control of tough lighting scenarios- especially under fluorescents. In addition to the financial benefits of the sleeves, they protect against the potential disaster of glass shattering by containing the lamp within the end caps.

Rosco sleeves are constructed of a solid polycarbonate tube within which is held the specific filter. The choice of filters and combination of filters is endless - there are complete Roscolux, Cinegel or E-Colour color filter lines - something for every venue, every photographer, every cinematographer.

For T5 Lamps    Over 300 Colors Available    UL94HB Rated Polycarbonate    End Caps Protect From Shattered Glass    Easily Trimmed with Scissors

Available in sizes for T12, T8 and T5 fluorescent lamps

The T8 and T5 sizes contain a UV filter that minimizes fading

All standard sizes (2, 4, 5, and 8') are easily trimmed to accommodate any size lamp

Q: 1. I'm using this 11mm macro extension with my 18-55mm Fujifilm lens, but it's not focusing at all. Everything is completely blurry. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

A: You are most likely too far away. Point of the tube is to bring minimum focus point of lenses closer, but they will not focus far away at all. Also, that distance is dependent on the focal length.

Q: 2. Will these work with my Nikon D5200?It works with autofocus or just manual?

A: These extension tube are compatible with your D5200, and will support autofocus as long as the focus distance is within the cameras focusing range. It is not uncommon for extension tubes to decrease the minimum focusing distance of the lens to such a short distance that the camera's AF sensors are not able to work properly, and will cause the camera to hunt back and forth. In these situations manual focus is the solution.

Q: 3. Will this hood fit over polarizers?

A: Yes, should work will most polarizers.

Q: 4. Will this work with x-t20?

A: I do not see why not...I use it with my X-T1...but you can call Fuji just go to web site and get # bottom of page

Q: 5. I already owned a 16 which can focus quite close. I also own a 23,35,56 & 55-200 lens. Do I need to buy an extension tube to actually do macro work? Would you recommend the 11 or 16 mm extension tube?

A: I also own a 16mm lens, and at closest focus, the subject is only about 2 1/2 from the front of the lens - that's often too close to be able to adequately light your subject (and too close for comfort to photograph a bee on a flower!). I bought the MCEX-16 but not the MCEX-11 because it gives me the range of magnification that I need with my 27mm, 55-200mm and 100-400mm lenses. I use it with my 27mm lens, for, among other things, copying old 35mm slides as it almost exactly covers the 35mm 1 x1 1/2 size. I've used it with my 100-400mm at 400mm to photograph frogs in a pond, giving me extreme closeups at a distance that is much closer than the lens normally focuses. Yes, it not equivalent to a true macro lens since you won't be able to focus at things further away, but that's not relevant when you're taking close up photographs. The comment about not accepted as a true macro in competitions is wrong - macro photography is about photographing things close up, not about the equipment you use to take the photographs - you can use a true macro lens, a lens with an extension tube, or a lens with closeup filters (which I also have and have gotten some great images - the reason I bought the MCEX-16 is that my close-up filters fit only on my 27mm lens and i wanted macro capability with my other lenses as well)

Q: 6. Id like to use this with a 50mm f 1.8 E series lens mounted on a D7100, would I have to change the non cpu information in the camera? and if so how would you calculate it?

A: I've used it on a D610 to shoot RAW's of color transparencies, and did not change anything significant. Everything looked good.

Q: 7. I just purchased the MCES-16 and I am finding that my X-T1 camera will not focus at all with the XF18-55mm lens. Am I missing a setting or something or is the tube defective?

A: When using the Fujifilm MCEX-16 16mm Extension Tube for Fujifilm X-Mount, you will lose infinity focus, but you will gain the ability to use the lens as a psuedo-macro lens to focus closer than the lens' listed minimum focus distance. However, do note that when focusing within close focusing distances, the camera would require contrast and lighting to be able to focus on your subject. Many people find it is easier to focus manually when using an extension tube. Autofocus may be achieved if it is bright enough or there is enough contrast on your subject, but it may hunt-and-peck back-and-forth trying to achieve focus, so focusing manually may be best in certain situations.

Q: 8. Does the OIS on my 18-55mm still work with the tube installed?

A: Yes.

Q: 9. Will the Kenko DG auto extension tube set work with the new Nikkor 24-70 f/2.8E zoom lens?

A: You shouldn't have any problems with this combination.

Q: 10. Can you use this extension tube with Viltrox lenses?

A: Yes this extension tube can be used with Viltrox lenses that have a Fuji X series mount.
