Q: 1. If 36mm extension tube is used with Nikon AF-S DX 17-55mm f/2.8G ED lens at 55mm what is image size and min. focus distance?

A: It appears that, at the 17mm focal length setting, using the using the 36mm extension tube from the Vello Auto Extension Tube Set for Nikon F on the Nikon AF-S DX 17-55mm f/2.8G ED lens would reduce the minimum focus distance to approximately 3.18 inches (80.7 mm), and at the 55mm focal length, the minimum focus distance will be reduced to approximately 8.72 inches (221.4 mm).

Q: 2. 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: 5. can these tubes be used with tele-photo lenses or does it have to a prime lens???

A: Yes... They work great. I use them with a Nikon 135mm f2 DC lens on a Nikon D800e for flowers. This lens has suburb bokeh but does not focus closely enough for flower portraits. Also the Nikon versions are manual only and do not supply exposure information to the camera.

A: The Vello Auto Extension Tubes for Nikon Z-Mount Lenses will decrease the point of focus so you can show more detail of a small item like a diamond on a ring. The issue is that you won't be able to focus to infinity any longer with the extension tube on the camera.

Q: 8. Do these also function to increase the zoom on the telephoto end of a Zuiko 12-45 Pro?

Q: 10. I just received the Vello Auto Extension Tube Set for Nikon. I have a D90 camera, and I'm using a Nikon DX AF-S Nikkor 35 mm 1:1.8k G lens. I tried using the 12mm extension tube and see nothing through the view finder. I tried it outside with plenty of sunshine, and yes, the lens cap was off, but I still didn't see anything. Also, I know you can't set the aperture with the tubes, so can I still shoot in manual or do I need AUTO?

A: Everything should work fine with what you have. Since this is a Auto version and not the Manual version, you can control the aperture of the lens with the tubes in place. Be sure that that on the camera, the aperture is open all the way. While the image will be dimmer than without the tubes, you should see clearly enough.If you still have an issue, please email us with your experience. prophoto@bhphoto.com.
