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

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. will this work with the TC-14 or TC-20 teleconverter from Olympus?

A: We have not tested using the Vello EXT-MFTD2 Auto Extension Tube Set for Micro 4/3 Mounts and Lenses with 1.4x or 2x teleconverters. Teleconverters are designed to multiply the focal length of the lens to increase the lens' reach, whereas extension tubes are designed for macro photography to allow you to focus closer than the lens' designed minimum focus distance, increasing magnification, but eliminating the ability to focus at infinity. Extension tubes and teleconverters are not often used together, and I have not seen them tested together.

Q: 2. Are there threaded sockets at the top between legs to attach accessories like QD socket? Similar to TFC-14

A: The Really Right Stuff Ascend-14 Long Travel Carbon Fiber Tripod with Integrated Ball Head does not have a QD socket, but it does have a 1/4"-20 female threaded socket for accessories.

Q: 6. What is the difference between these and the non deluxe version? MFR #DG-FU

A: These are 2 different brand tubes, one is made by Viltrox and the other is Vello. The build quality of the Vello tubes are better.

Q: 7. 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: 8. Do these work with Fuji 50mm f2?

A: These extension tubes fit a Fujifilm 50mm f/2.

Q: 9. does it work with the d5200 ?

A: No. These extension tubes are not compatible with any of the Nikon D5000 series cameras.

Q: 10. Will these tubes work with my 60mm macro on the D810?

A: I can't imagine any reason they wouldn't. They work fine adjusting the AF and aperture with a few lenses I've tried them with on my D750.
