The Fotodiox Pro Automatic Macro Extension Tube for Hasselblad XCD Mount Mirrorless Digital Cameras allows for extreme close-up photography. This tube communicates all electronic functions from the lens to the camera, including auto-focus and auto-exposure, offering a cost-effective alternative to dedicated macro lenses.

This method is superior to close-up lenses which can alter optical quality. While using an extension tube increases the effective aperture and reduces the amount of light, your camera's automatic exposure mode will adjust accordingly. It's a simple and affordable way to convert any existing lens into a macro lens.
