Really good quality
Really good quality. Much cheaper than the Fuji own branded ones. Do the job just as well. No loss of quality

Works well with Fuji X-H2S and Fuji 16-80mm lens
From my initial testing I am very pleased with these Meike 10mm and 16mm macro extension tubes, which I have used with my Fujifilm XH2S and a Fujifilm 16-80mm lens. The tubes are lightweight and come with front and back caps to keep them protected when not in use. I chose these over the JJC ones simply because the Meike ones have a thin metal plate for each connection and I thought it would be a bit more robust. The tube itself is still plastic though.The tubes fit well to the camera, the lens, and each other, with an audible click or ping when connecting. Whilst the release mechanisms feel a little loose to activate (compared to that on the camera) the fit is still secure. Even with both tubes on with the 16-80mm lens it feels balanced and secure.In use, both manual focus and autofocus work well and the exif data is correct in the saved file.I don’t do a lot of Macro photography, which is why I went for extension tubes. When I do I photograph flowers or insects hand-held, so having a reasonable distance from my subject is important.I have provided some test shot comparisons using the 16-80mm lens at focal lengths 16mm, 23mm, 35mm, 50mm and 80mm. There has been no crop applied and all shots were at f11.The focal length you use must be greater than the tube or tubes you are using, so at 16mm on the lens you can only get focus with the 10mm extension, it won’t work with the 16mm tube. Whilst you can get some great detail and close up at 16mm and 23mm using the tubes I found the working distance too close, in fact the lens is virtually touching the subject. The 50mm and 80mm lengths gave decent working distances when using the tubes, between 5 and 10 cm depending on which tube or combined.These tubes work well for my use on the Fujifilm 16-80mm lens and having owned a macro lens before, being able to take infrequent macro shots without the weight or expense is ideal.It’s worth noting that other lenses (zooms or primes) will give different results due to the minimum focal distances of each lens. The Fujifilm website will have details of these.

Good value but check lens compatibility.
The build quality is much better than I expected for the price. Made of metal and there are no rattling parts when you use it. It fits well on my Fuji XT2, but it was an incredibly tight fit on my Fuji 50mm f2.At first I thought I made a mistake and the lens wasn’t compatible, but it was. The tolerances on the mount are so tight that it took a great force to twist the lens on to the extension tube. I tried with multiple lenses and the same thing happened. I’ve seen other reviews detailing how their unit has a looser fitting mount, so maybe it’s just my copy that’s a bit tight.I was a bit sceptical about the autofocus capabilities of a third party product but it works fine when there’s available light. Having said this, I’m not sure how useful autofocus is for macro photography as manual focus will be needed for most shots.The extension tubes do not have any lens elements, thus should not impact image quality, and it does not. The images I’m getting are up to par.Top tip: I’ve used this extension tube with multiple lenses at this point and I’ve found that lenses that use a “focus by wire” system are harder to operate. I’ve found manual lenses in general to work much better since their focusing is much more tactile.Overall this product does what it claims, but make sure your lens is compatible before purchasing. It’s an affordable way to get into macro photography without having to buy a macro lens. Would recommend.

Buy these instead of macro filters
I bought these for use with my XT3, using the 18-55 f2.8-4. I can confirm that these work with this body and this lens with autofocus. Previously, I had been trying out macro photography using some cheap macro filters I had bought a few years ago. These tended to give a lot of chromatic aberration and the quality did take a bit of a dip when using multiple filters to get in close, and eventually I wanted an upgrade without paying for a dedicated macro lens.The tubes feel well-constructed with a metal mount, and come with 1 set of caps. The clips on the sides of the tubes are a little bit rattly, but still function well. The tubes do not feel too loose or too tight on the lens or the body that they're attached to. However, as I only currently have one Fujifilm lens, I have been unable to test their ability to withstand the weight of heavier lenses than the 18-55mm f2.8-4. Your mileage with heavier lenses may vary! They're also very lightweight, so they're perfect for throwing into your bag for an impromptu macro shot.If you use Fujifilm, I would highly recommend these macro tubes if you're looking to try out macro photography on a budget.

Works with XT5
I'm using these with my XT5 and the 15-55 to scan slides. Although the description doesn't mention compatibility with the XT5, they work well with it.

Totally Recommend
Great price and do the job. Bought a second set for a family member I liked them so much.

Good for scanning negatives
Good product for money. Could have done with an extra extension tube alike those for the canon mount. The product works perfectly with the autofocus and doesn’t need to be re adjusted or connected I have found so far. The product however does have a little play to it. I found especially when having my Fuji X-18-55 mm lens on, it wobbles when zooming in or out. It doesn’t however with this play lose connection for autofocus. Generally a very good tool for scanning film with and seems to not be too delicate. If it wasn’t for the play it would be 5 stars.

Simplement PARFAIT !
S'enclenche aussi bien tant sur mes boitiers Fuji que mes objectifs dont le "fabuleux" Viltrox 56mm F1.7 qui sera donc associé pour mes reproductions de mes dias et négatifs sur table lumineuse.Au niveau du design et finition, c'est impeccable....vraiment.Les montures en métal évidemment ontles contacts qui assurent parfaitement la MAP auto.Meike est une valeur sûre et le corps en plastique de grande qualité à la finition parfaite permet de ne pas rajouter au poids de l'ensemble.Pour mon exemple boitier Fuji/ Viltrox 56mm F1.7 ( au piqué et contraste " hallucinant " ) les 2 bagues ensemble permet de quasi remplir le format 24×36 d'un négatif ou dia pour la reproduction en fichier numérique.Pourquoi mettre moins de 5 étoiles !

Reemplaza sin problema a los originales
Funciona a la perfección, autoenfoque incluido. Ligeros, bien construidos y no se aprecia disminución de calidad frente a los fabricados por Fuji. Como única pega, no he podido montarlos en mi 50-140mm XF.

Does what it’s supposed to
Works perfectly well, not the sturdiest construction yet it seem to hold very heavy lenses fine. Connection is good, offers « sort of macro » option with autofocus for a small price, magnification is noticeably enhanced although not always convenient ( very small focus distance only). That being said I am not 100% satisfied with the results, this is a great option to have fun but if you mean to obtain good macro quality, it might be wiser to save that money to buy a real macro lens ( more that ten times this price point though) but this is only a personal reflection there is absolutely nothing wrong with this product.

Passar ej
Förlängningsröret går ej att sätta på vissa objektiv, tex Fujifilm 80 mm macro

Sehr günstig und funktionstüchtig
Wer in die Makrofotografie vorstoßen will und die Kosten für echte, also speziell berechnete Makroobjektive, vorerst scheut, ist mit solchen Verlängerungen an geeigneten Objektiven bestens bedient.Makrofotografie beginnt m. E. ab einem Abbildungsmaßstab von 1:1 und größer. Das wird hiermit, je nach verwendetem Objektiv nicht mal theoretisch erreicht, aber man kommt dem sehr nah. 1:0,9 ist machbar. Allerdings verringert sich dann die Distanz zum Objekt derart drastisch, dass man schnell Verschattungen bekommt und bei Tieren diese in die Flucht schlägt, so sie noch lebendig sind.Im Groben und Ganzen kann man also hiermit sehr eindrucksvolle Nahaufnahmen erzielen und per Autofokusübertragung sich auch ins Focusstacking einarbeiten.Nicht besser aber nochmals billiger ginge es dann nur noch mit gestutzten Kernen von Klo- oder Haushaltstuchrollen.... ;-)Ich kann die Tubes guten Gewissens empfehlen.
