Description

In this episode, I review what extension tubes are, how they work, and what they do for you. I go over the formula to determine exactly how much magnification you will get from extension tubes. I also go over their pros and cons and what you need to know when deciding on extension tubes for your own photography. I will also share some real-world examples of how you can benefit from using them.
