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. Do the twist locks require a 1/4 or 1/2 turn to drop leg?

A: Pretty much all RRS tripods including the Really Right Stuff TFC-24L MK2 Series2 Long-Leg Ultralight Carbon Fiber Tripod (66.1") are a 1/4 inch turn to loosen the legs

Q: 2. What is the diameter & circumference of this tripod when fully collapsed?

A: The widest diameter on the Really Right Stuff TFC-24L MK2 Series2 Long-Leg Ultralight Carbon Fiber Tripod (66.1") messures 11''.

Q: 3. Does it make sense to combine an extension tube with a macro lens (OM 5 + Zuiko 60mm macro)?

A: One can use extension tubes with Macro lenses to get even closer. This is something that can be effective. But the FotodioX Macro Extension Tube Set for Micro Four Thirds (MFT, M4/3) Cameras: for Extreme Close-Up Photography are manual extension tubes only. They would not allow for any focus or aperture control when used with the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 60mm f/2.8 Macro Lens, and so would not be a good combination. If you want to use extension tubes with that lens, instead get the FotodioX Pro Automatic Macro Extension Tube Kit for Micro Four Thirds, BH #FOMCRMFTAFKI (https://bhpho.to/3IlwVeY).

Q: 4. What is the difference between the TFC and the TVC series of tripods?

A: Really Right Stuff TFC tripods have a fixed apex. All legs are joined to a machined aluminum section that has a stud on it for attaching your tripod head. On TFC tripods, the stud is reversible and removable. That means you can have either a 1/4″20 stud or a 3/8″16 stud on the top of the tripod. Really Right Stuff TVC tripods have a Versa apex. With Versa tripods, a hex key can loosen the top plate of the tripod and remove it, leaving you the ability to switch between different Versa accessories.

Q: 5. Is this an autofocus?

A: No, there is no communication between the tubes and lens/camera. Auto-focusing while using extension tubes is a lesson in futility, it just won't work. Manual focus is the only way to go when shooting extreme macro.

Q: 6. To what does Leg Positions 1, 2, and 3 refer?

A: At the various leg positions, the tripod can hold different amounts of weight.

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. 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: 9. 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: 10. This tripod work well with the RRS bh-55?

A: The Really Right Stuff BH-55 Ball Head works well with the Really Right Stuff TFC-34L MK2 Series3 Long-Leg Ultralight Carbon Fiber Tripod (68.5").
