Extension tube that will work with Nikon 14-24mm lens?

Can I use an extension tube with the Nikon 14-24mm lens for closer shots still wide?  If so, which one please.  


Thank you PT!

You can use tubes with any lens, although it's not clear what value there is with a shorter focal length.

I have the Vivitar tubes, and they work fine. They're just snug is all.

I got a set of Movo MT-N68 tubes.  They worked perfectly on my 20mm (and others) until I left the tubes on my 50mm and they got stuck together...  Ended up having to take apart the tube to save the lens.  So I'd recommend NOT getting the Movos or at least only attaching them to a lens when in use (really though, I'd just stay away from them).

Tubes on a wide angle lens IS pretty fun though.

Edit: the 12mm tube on the 20mm lens worked well and you could pretty much well put the front element on something and still get it in focus.  The AF even worked when you were up close enough.

Extension tubes will work with any lens but with a wider angle lens
one will have to work closer to the subject and not gain any magni-
fication! Plus the forced proximity will have negative effect on the
lighting of the subject.

Light is free… capturing it is not!

+1 agree, you get some oddities introduced in lighting from this, and IMO the subject get's pulled out a bit.

Correct. If you can't afford a dedicated macro lens
then go for the tubes with 70mm+…

200mm+ if you ambition to shoot rattlers! :rofl:
