Extension tube

[The_Cheat]

Need help from the old birds again...

What's the difference between extension tube and extension bellow? :dunno:

What would be the difference if I reverse mount a Wcon, as compared to these extension attachments? :dunno:

Hope someone could enlighten me.

Basically they are almost the same....The tubes don't have the ability to tilt or shift but the bellows probably has this two functions. Ermm....I've never heard of people reversing Wcons.....usually the photog will buy a reverse ring to reverse 50mm standard lens.....

Well....I've sold a set of micro bellow to a friend that has tilt shift functions....it's use with minolta MD mount cameras.........

They function the same, by altering close focus through distancing the lens from the film. Tubes are fixed, while bellows are steplessly adjustable, however. Bellows may be tilt/shiftable too but that is pretty uncommon.
