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. Wondering if these were compatible with a D5000, using the standard 55-200mm that came with it. Someone mentioned I might have trouble with the auto-focus, metering, etc.. Thanks in advance for any help you may provide.

A: Yes, these tubes are fully compatible with the Nikon D5000 and your 55-200mm lens and most all other lenses you would want to use with it. The tubes are designed to allow the autofocus to work at distances the camera is designed to focus at, however the benefit of the tubes is to be able to get closer than normal, so in doing so the autofocus sensor of your camera may become confused and hunt for its focus point and never come to focus. As such manual focus is a better route to go with.

Q: 2. Can I use these extension tubes in with the Z adapter so I can shoot with my Z8 and an F-mount AF-S Micro NIKKOR 60mm f/2.8G?

A: The Vello Auto Extension Tubes for Nikon Z-Mount Lenses will not work using an FTZ lens adapter and the AF-S Micro NIKKOR 60mm f/2.8G f mount lens.

Q: 3. Can you remove the integrated ballhead and purchase a platform separately (if so, which one?) to use with a BH30?

A: An integrated ball head is not included with the purchase of the Really Right Stuff Ascend-14 Long Travel Carbon Fiber Tripod. The Really Right Stuff Ascend-14 Long Travel Carbon Fiber Tripod would be the tripod legs only; a ball head (or other tripod head) would have to be purchased as a separate accessory.

Q: 4. Hi it will be fully working with Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 58mm f/1.4G Lens?

A: The Vello Auto Extension Tube Set for Nikon is compatible with all Nikon AF and AF-S lenses.

Q: 5. Would RRS Ascend 14L legs and an Aratech GP Ballhead make for a combo? Would head fit to platform well? Could the combo handle a Nikon D500 w/ 500 F5.6 PF lens easily? What might be the upper limit of lenses for this combination?

A: Yes this would be a great combo, the head would fit to the platform well, it could easily handle a D500 with 500mm PF, and the largest lens that you could safely hold according to the specs would be almost any of them!

Q: 6. Will these work with the Canon RF 100mm f/2.8 L Macro IS USM Lens?

A: The Vello Auto Extension Tubes for Canon RF-Mount Lenses are compatible with the Canon RF 100mm f/2.8 L Macro IS USM Lens.

Q: 7. will these work with the nikon d5200 ?

Q: 8. How well will these work with a Fuji 16-80mm XF f4 lens? Could I get really close and crisp? Like say the face of a Bee?

A: The minimum focusing distance on the XF 16-80mm f/4 Lens is 1.15 ft from the subject. By adding both extension tubes to the lenses, you can get very close. However, this would be trial and error.

Q: 9. Vello compatibility chart lists Nikon AF-S DX 17-55mm f/2.8G ED as compatible but my D7200 will not focus manually or on Auto?

A: Vello Auto Extension Tube Set for Nikon F will autofocus with Nikon AF-S DX 17-55mm f/2.8G ED and D7200 will autofocus.

Q: 10. With this device, what improvement is there to the close focus ratio? Discuss the pros and cons?

A: This is a. good little tool for the price- It has no elements so it relies on the clarity of the lens glass entirely without clarity loss. Im not sure precisely how it alters the close focus ratio in terms of a ratio, but of course it i creasess it because otherwise you wouldnt be able to focus on the object in a macro way--- if your question is, does it distort or alter the look of the focal length my answer would be no, but my experience is that it facilotates different looks with different lenses (tested 28-200 and zooms as well), my advice would be to experiment--- The only con I sont believe is any fault of the device--- that is that you generally pick/up a limited depth of field inherent to the close macro effect, which you may or may not like working with or around....
