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. do these work with the xf 35mm f/1.4 ?

A: Yes, I use it on two lenses. I have used it on my 23mm and my 35mm. I have found that it works best on the 35mm. You have to get real close with the 23mm to get it to come into focus. Both lenses give great bokeh results as well.

Q: 2. It s a stupid question, but have to ask. Do these extensions make automatic a manual lens when used together?

A: These extension tubes when used together would not take away the use of autofocus on your lens.

Q: 3. 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: 4. Will this work with the Nikkor 105mm 2.8G VR Micro lens?

A: Hi, yes this set is compatible with the Nikon 105mm f/2.8G VR Micro lens.

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. 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.

Q: 7. 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: 8. Will this work with the d750?

A: Yes, they are compatible with the D750.

Q: 9. what lens can I use to get 1to1 copy of 16mm film frame?

Q: 10. I know that the mounts are metal, but is the body plastic or metal?

A: The body is aluminum.
