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. What sort of change in minimum focus distance could I expect on a Nikon 18-300 zoom on a D7500? Will the lenses still focus at infinity as well or do you need to take the tube out to use the lens for normal photography?

A: If you combine a 3 tubes, the magnification of the Nikon 18-300mm lens becomes 4.1x and the minimum focus becomes 4.49 inches. Without the tubes the lens has 0.32x magnification and the minimum focus is 18.8 inches. When using extension tubes, there will be no infinity focus.

Q: 2. will these extension tubes work with the full-frame Nikon D600 for full frame effect

A: Yes, the Vello Auto Extension Tubes for Nikon are compatible with the Nikon D600.

Q: 3. It will work on my D5300 with 50mm 1.8???

Q: 5. I have a Nikon D7000, and am hoping to use these tubes with a prime 35mm 1:1.8G lens. Will I be able to get close enough to shoot snowflakes? I believe (without checking) that the minimum focus distance with that lens is somewhere around 11.5 inches. (I am new to macro shooting so please excuse my lack of knowledge.) Thanks :-)

A: I also have a Nikon D7000, and the Vello extension tubes, but not your particular lens.This is what I find:Nikon 17-35 f/2.8 at 35 mm + 20 mm tube = 1.625 wide field, 1.5 distance from lens.Nikon 17-35 f/2.8 at 35 mm + 36 mm tube = 0.875 wide field, 0.25 distance from lens.Nikon 50 f/1.8G + 36 mm tube = 1.125 wide field, 2 distance from lensThe 36 mm tube will give the greatest reproduction ratio, as can be seen above, but you will be right on top of your subject. I have shot bugs with the above 50mm 1.8G + 20 mm tube to good effect, but your depth of field is quite small and can benefit from focus stack sets and related software.If you are wanting to shoot snowflakes, you might be able to avoid the shortcomings for small depth of field since snowflakes have minimal depth anyway. The very short lens/subject distance will make frontal lighting almost impossible, but if the flakes were on a glass sheet, you could light them from the back. Or, invest in a ring flash.Anyway, have fun.Chris

Q: 6. I want to get the 1.4x or 2x converter to use on my Fuji 55-200 lens but I believe they are not compatible So, any suggestions on a non-Fuji brand converter?As an alternative I have used an extension tube to mate the converter to the body and then add lens on other mounts. Will this approach work with the Fuji X mount?Thanks

A: Yes, they will work but then you cannot use the camera built in auto focus function.

Q: 10. I have a Nikon D5100,,the description for these Vello lenses say that they are not compatible with Nikon D5000 series cameras but some of the answers here and on other forums say they do work. Can anyone clarify/verify this for me?

A: I don't own a D5100, but they work with Nikon F mount. Should work with the D5100. Some lens may now auto focus.
