Upgrading your camera equipment is an important aspect of photography and camera maintenance. Hasselblad V camera lens extension tubes can be a useful tool for those who are interested in macro photography and are keen to achieve that perfect close-up shot.

There are many different types of extension tubes available including 55mm, 56mm and 136mm tubes. As the name suggests they work by increasing the extension of your lens. A camera lens extension tube are a hollow tube which is fitted between the lens and the camera and moves the lens farther from the camera and closer to the subject to magnify specific details. The farther away the lens is from the image plane, the closer the focus is and the greater the magnification is. The use of an extension tube also creates a greater loss of light which in turn means the photograph requires a longer exposure time.

These extension tubes can be used with a whole host of different camera lenses . You can choose between individual tubes and sets containing two or more extension tubes. Many of the extension tube sets can be joined together to make even more magnification possible. This is particularly useful if you are photographing wildlife or insects as it gives enhanced clarity and magnification of particularly minute details.

Designed for high end optical performance, some of these lenses convert to the 35mm equivalent of a 420mm lens. Some of the lenses also include additional camera accessories including a mounting bracket, camera lens hood , front lens cap and a carrying case which makes taking your camera away on a trip with you much easier and certainly safer.
