see more photos Provides continuously variable macro extension between 65mm and 116mm, with tripod collar.
This revolutionary macrophoto unit, compact, lightweight, featuring automatic diaphragm linkage and offering continuous extension from 65mm to 116mm. It allows you to vary magnifications and subject area freely, making macrophoto work as easy as snapshots. Subject area extends to 72mm x 48mm when used with the 135mm macro lens, and runs all the way down to 30mm x 20mm with the 80mm macro lens. Includes a tripod collar to allow rotation of the camera without removing it from the tripod. This extension tube is idea for use with short barrel macro lenses such as the Zuiko MACRO 80mm f/4.0, and provides automatic diaphragm operation with lenses so equipped.
Using a Zuiko standard lens alone you can only focus as close as 45cm, while with a close-up lens mounted over the standard lens, focus can be extended down to 19cm. To obtain extension sufficient for high magnification macrophoto work, however, extension devices such as this one must be fitted between the taking lens and the camera body.  The Telescopic Auto Tube 65-116, which offers continuous extension from 65mm-116mm, is a highly convenient alternative and is especially suited for outdoor work. Lenses for use with it may be chosen in accordance with magnification and subject area desired.
