Vello launches EXT-NZ Extension Tube for Nikon Z lenses

This EXT-NZ extension tube kit for Nikon Z lenses from Vello allows you to take close-up shots without requiring a macro lens, providing a practical macro solution.

The Vello EXT-NZ kit includes 12mm and 20mm tubes, which can be used individually or stacked together for greater control over decreasing the minimum focus distance of a lens. Extension tubes do not contain optical elements, so the image quality of the lens is not affected.

Electronic communication between body and lens is supported, so the convenience of autofocus and auto-exposure functions are maintained. In addition, image stabilization is maintained when using enabled lenses and cameras.

These Vello extension rings are lightweight and durable, with a metal bayonet for extra strength. It weighs 32 g (12 mm Tube) or 40 g (20 mm Tube).
