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 T12 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. Is it compatible with the NIKKOR 16-80mm f/2.8-4E ED VR and D500

A: Quoting directly from the Vello website... They are compatible with all AF and AF-S lenses.

Q: 2. When I order, do I specify MM DIAMETER - that doesnt seem to be requested?

A: You will need the correct camera mount to suit your camera and lenses. The extension tubes are pre-set but can be disconnected into 2 separate units, or used together. As they increase the distance between the camera and the rear of the lens, the image is magnified on the sensor. They are good to experiment with as it opens up a new dimension in photographing small to minute subjects. Enjoy.

Q: 10. B & H salesmen told me the tubes only work with a macro lens. From what I'm reading on this site a macro lens is not necessary. I was at B & H an hour ago. I'm confused now. Do I need a macro lens?

A: Extension tubes will work not only with macro lenses, but with many other prime and zoom lenses as well. I could provide you with additional sources of information but B&H prohibits me from citing other sources or from providing you my contact information. Google topics like close-up photography' or 'macro photography with extension tubes' or 'how to use extension tubes' and look around. I forwarded specific information on this topic to B&H several weeks ago, but they must have decided not to use it.
