will these tubes work for the D3300? I bought a set of Opteka tubes from Amazon and had to return them. The D3300 has 8 elec. contacts.

I don't have a D3300 to try, but the number of contacts should be the same for all Nikon DSLR models and lenses with CPU. The tubes work nicely with both a Nikon AF 50mm f/1.8 D lens (with aperture ring), and a Nikon AF-S 85mm f/1.8 G (without aperture ring). As for all "D" lenses, the aperture ring needs to be locked at the smallest aperture for the aperture to be controlled by the camera.

I love the Opteka 650 and if you have a t-ring adapter. I got mine for my Nikon and specified what camera I had before purchasing it therefore it came with the adapter for my specific camera

As long as the lens works with the camera without the tubes it should work with them.... Also consider a good true Macro lens to use with the tubes as they are optimized to focus at 1:1 ratio and have a flat field for the best results.... Happy shooting... I love the kenko tubes that i have.

I had intended to use these extension tubes on a D3200 with the Nikkor 18-200mm DX zoom. However, they refused to fully seat on the camera body, and I would expect the same with the D7000. When I found myself on the verge of trying to use force, I returned the tubes for a refund - a very easy process at Amazon. A few reviews noted similar problems, and at least one offered a workaround, in case you're interested in that.

I use the Voshkod 6ZH1P-EV in mine and I highly recommend them. You can also use 5654 tube or 6AK5-W tube types. I think you'll be fine. The Chinese tubes that come with them really do suck.

As long as the Sony will accept filters, I believe it should work. The thread size is 58mm (obviously!!!) but if the Sony filter size is SMALLER, you should be able to get a step-up ring to adapt the Opteka. I hope this helps. By the way, I love my Opteka!

I'm not sure, but Nikon publishes a teleconverter compatibility chart. You should be able to find it by doing a web search.

I purchased extra gear tracks for the lenses on Amazon as well. They are not Opteka but they will work just fine.

It should work with the D3100 as well as the adapter fits onto the hotshoe and sends the signal to the strobes. I've used it with the d80 and the D3000 without any problems.I hope that helps you!

I answered you or someone else this same question, please check. Main (driver??) tubes are EL-34's

Since I never use kit lens and it's been a while... I went to get both the 18-55 and the 55-200 to try. I tried them out with the tubes for fun over a year ago but I need to confirm my own memory. To answer simply, YES! Work with both! Now, you should be aware of a few things. One, you must zoom them out to the max. So 18-55 must be extended to 55mm position. Secondly, while light metering works fine, with two or more rings the camera will sometimes not auto focus or hunts. This is, of course, the limitation of pushing the lenses well out of what they were designed for. On those two lenses you really only need one tube at a time or you are really too close to your subject anyway. On a final note... I've use these tubes on a Nikon 18-200mm DX (GREAT results), kits lenses (18-55 or 55-200), old 1973 Nikon 50mm, Nikon 105 Micro (Yes, makes a legend go even closer), and Sigma 150-500mm. Just remember each lens works differently and the Sigma 150-500mm is not particularly good at Macro photography so the tubes work but I wouldn't bother. Hope this helps :) PS: I even tried them on my Nikon 16mm Fish Eye lens. While they do work, it pulls the lens in so close to the subject one cannot really photograph.

I just tried to contact the manufacturer once again, and I got his voicemail once again. However, I did some research on Adorama's website, and while reading the comments there, I noticed that there are at least three people that stated they can use the tubes with both EF and EF-S lenses. I'm personally going to give it a shot! You can always return them it not...

There is a lack of necessary information. But assuming the camera body and the lens are recent versions, the tubes will work fine. I have several lenses and have tried most of them except the 2 perspective control versions, and everything has worked so far

It works with my D3200. The D3300 is a very minor upgrade of the D3200. The cable goes into the GPS port.

The lens is great for flowers and insects but I am not familiar with the D3300 (I use mine on a D7100.) But if you go to the Nikon USA page and find the lens you will see that it has a compatibility chart for what bodies it works with.

I received some additional input from a reliable source whose area of expertise is various types of photo gear, since I do not have a D5300 myself: The Kenko tubes have the circuitry and mechanical coupling to maintain auto focus and TTL auto exposure with most Nikon lenses if there is enough light to activate the camera's autofocus. The camera and lens you mentioned should work with the Kenko extension tubes. If, for some reason, the tubes do not work to your satisfaction most sources, such as Amazon, have a good return policy.
