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.

Q: 9. I purchased these from you already but have not used them yet. I am using both a Canon 7D and a Canon 1DX with the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM Lens. How can I use these so that autofocus function is retained? Thank you.

A: The first thing to understand about macro photography, is using AF (when possible) is a convenience that will become more of a hindrance in the long run. The benefit of extension tubes, and also just a macro lens such as the Canon 100mm goes is that they allow for much closer focusing than with other common lenses. They get so close that the AF sensors in most cases are not able to decide on what the focus point is, and end up causing the camera's focusing sensors to hunt back and forth never coming into focus. The majority of macro photographers out there end up shooting in manual focus mode, and the better approach is to physically move the camera closer and further from the subject in small increments and manually tune the focusing till you get what you want.To answer your question directly, the Canon 100mm f2.8 L IS USM Macro lens has a minimum focusing distance of 1 foot (distance from sensor plane to the subject). Using the tubes will decrease this distance. Youll ultimately have to experiment with each tube and the lens to see what the tolerance of autofocusability will be.
