after I've read through the other recessions, I decided to bring these rings. Finally, you can not do much broken and if the parts should be scrap, I can return it still at this price.
Yesterday came the package and I have to honestly say that I would not have expected this feel.
The rings are made of aluminum, very stable and look chic. The thread of the individual rings fit together very well and also make a stable compound. Problem in the rings is of course, that they have no contacts, and thus you can not use the auto focus or aperture priority.
Initially the images Weisten on a very shallow depth of field, but after I've followed these instructions:
Setting the Aperture:
- The camera is set to Tv
- Set the desired aperture
- Press the Depth of Field Preview
- Unscrew the lens while holding the Preview button
- Set the lens to the ring
Connect camera with ring -
Make camera on Tv -
- Done!
Functioned all super. Although you must always very close to the object ran, but as you get used to it. Living objects (flies, beetles, etc.) can thus probably not photograph so well, because you have such written ran very close to the object. All rings I would not unscrew, but to produce good pictures good long 2-3 rings.
According to other recessions, the rings should be very unstable and the entire lens wobbles. I can not confirm this statement, because the kit (18-55) and the Tamron (28-70) wobbles nothing on the rings. Anyone who thinks he has to hang on to these rings a 70-300mm lens, which may be something of course not buy. Otherwise, I am very satisfied and can only recommend the intermediate rings.
