Extension Tubes!

Few people know that you can turn almost any mirrorless lens into a macro-only lens using some cheap (£25 on Amazon at the time of writing) extension tubes from Amazon! Great for someone who doesn’t want to buy an expensive macro lens or carry around an additonal, heavy lens in their kit. There are of course some trade-offs when looking at it both ways, but for most people these little extension tubes will probably do the trick.

Personally I’ve been using the “MEIKE MK-S-AF3B” for a few years now and they work great! You even get working AF with this specific model (although who would want it in most macro scenarios?).

Here are some photos I took with them recently (edited to taste) on my Sony FE 50mm f/2.5 G lens:
