Metering won't be affected, but why would you be concerned about AF?...Macro is best done by focusing manually. Nikon even states in their literature that AF & VR become ineffective as you get closer to life size images. The lens would likely hunt excessively & you would be lucky if it focused on what you wanted.. Add to the mix that with the tubes, you will also lose infinity focus, so the AF question becomes even more questionable...
good post These are with Zeikos tubes but the effect is the same ( Zeikos are 13.21 and 31). These were taken with my 50mm. I noted the "combos on the shots. (The 11 should read 13) This was the first day I had them and was asking the same question.Casey T wrote: So with a 105mm lens how much closer can you get to your subject with these Kenko extension tubes?
Hope it helps.
Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.
