Tutorials

Ever find yourself wondering just how someone managed to create an image using different effects?

Here are three simple tutorials we hope will encourage you to try something new.

The Hot Seat

A lifelong interest in landscape photography has led Eyal Oren to make a study of his adopted hometown of Marblehead, MA. As you can see, his dedication is paying off!

Africa!

Dgrinners Harryb, Pathfinder, and others joined Andy Williams and Marc Muench on Safari in East Africa recently. Here are some awesome threads to check out!

Extension tubes
I'm a macro newbie starting out with a Nikon 60mm 2.8G and a set of Kenko extension tubes. My question is mainly about the tubes. Will they work on both D and G lenses (AF is a non-issue)? Can i use them on all F mount lenses like my 85mm 1.8D and an 18-200 3.5-5.6G? I also have two old pre-AI lenses -- a Nikkor 105 2.5 and a Nikkor 2.8, both of which were purchased when I was living in Asia long ago. They have both been converted to work on my D300. Can I use the extension tubes with them? Will it do any good?

yes you can
if the tubes have the electrical contacts , yes

AF is useless for macro , better use manual whatsoever

yes ,they are good , there is no glass , they do nothing actually
they just move the lens away from sensor , resulting in larger focal-lenght , thats all they do

why not try and find out
