Mamiya 645 Extension Tubes

[ianbarber]

The only lens I have for the 645 pro is the standard 80m one that came with the camera. Nice lens but as I do a fair bit of still life, I want to be able to get closer to the subject. This lens only allows me to get roughly 2 feet away.

I am looking at some extension rings on eBay and was wondering if anyone has any experiences before I commit to buy.

I've got the No3-S extension ring which I use with my 80mm lenses and my 150. Gives excellent results and allows you to get much closer.

Thanks Kel for the information. Roughly how close would you say you can focus with the Number 3 extension tube fitted.

With the 80mm it's down to approximately 30cm and with the 150mm it's roughly 50cm. I'd have to crack out the tape measure to give you a more accurate answer.
