INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Vello Manual Extension Tube Set. Extension tubes
provide a practical way of adding macro performance to SLR camera setups.
The Vello manual extension tubes can be attached to a variety of lenses for
different effects and are less expensive than dedicated macro lenses. The extension tubes can be stacked in eight combinations, allowing for greater control of
the level of magnication.

alignment marks on the tube and
the camera’s lens mount.
3. Rotate the camera mount tube in
your camera’s lens mount until it
locks into place.

tube combination, the terminal
piece must be the lens mount tube
in order to mount your lens to the
camera. Then simply mount your
lens as you would normally.

TIPS FOR USING THE VELLO EXTENSION TUBES
• As with all macro photography, images will have a very shallow depth of
eld. To increase depth of eld, select a smaller aperture.
• Due to increased exposure times, a tripod and cable release or remote are
always recommended for macro photography.
• Closer focusing can be achieved by using the larger extension tubes or by
stacking the tubes.
• Make sure to set camera to manual exposure mode when using the Vello
Manual Extension Tube Set.

TIPS FOR USING THE VELLO EXTENSION TUBES
• At extremely close distances, it may be difcult to focus. In such a case, use
a macro focusing rail or manually set the lens to a desired focus point and
then move the lens forward or back to achieve a sharp focus.
• When using extension tubes, on-camera ash may result in unsightly shadows and is therefore not recommended. For best results, off-camera ash,
dedicated macro light, or other light sources are recommended.
