    Good day..
    I have Vega U11 in my arms. And I would like to somehow cope with the task with your help. I have Nikon d 80, d 90 and d 700. After reading all your tips, I understand that you need to attach the KP-42 \ N shank to Vega's back. And M 39 \ M 42 where? to Vega, and then Vega to the carcass?
    I will be grateful for the answer ..
    Now which of the adapters is suitable? http://www.gfotostore.ru/catalog/view/51.html or http://www.gfotostore.ru/catalog/view/121.html

      There are two options, M39-M42 + M42-Nikon, or you can glue KP-42 \ N. If with KP-42 \ N, then nothing else is needed. The second link is just 39-M42.

        Thank you for your help. Is it better to take the macro rings on the M39 or M42 for I-61L / D?

        The rings themselves are better on the M42, then it will be easier to use with other optics under the M42.

      Helios-44 (always with a reverse !!!) + any extension rings or macromech (see also my other comments on this review).

    Arkady I have a dilemma in choosing macro rings for Nikon 50mm f / 1.8G AF-S Nikkor if you take the tube then the aperture control will disappear or not

      If we take the usual cheap macro rings, then there will be no control of the diaphragm, and it will be constantly equal to 16.

    Good day to all. I am new to DSLR photography, but I want to learn. Now I’m trying at home a macro ring with a NIKKOR 50 mm 1: 2 lens (the old one is all manual) and I can’t bring in sharpness only if I bring the lens closer to the solid object (none the insect will not let it get so close to itself). I have a Nikon 5100. What is the mistake? or maybe nothing will work out with such a lens?

      Everything will turn out with any lens with a focal length of at least 135 mm + a macrolens of + 2D (the larger the diopter, the better).

    Good day. People help. I bought a macro ring, well, for the sake of interest, I connected the adapters to each other (an adapter for a carcass with an adapter-bayonet), now I can not disconnect. I understand that the situation is stupid, but it must be resolved. tell someone.

    Hello, Arkady. I want to assemble a budget system for macro, in the arsenal I have:
    1) Helios 44-2, M42 macro rings, (it is planned to purchase an M42-Nikon adapter with a dandelion without a lens)
    2) Jupiter8 from rangefinder optics, M39 macro rings, (I’ll buy a planned adapter M39-M42, adapter M42-Nikon (I don’t know if it’s suitable for non-mirror optics?))
    3) Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f / 1.8G (planned to purchase 52MM MACRO REVERSE ADAPTER RING FOR NIKON)
    4) the mouth is still whale 18-55, but what can it do with it also for reverse?
    Help, maybe there are more interesting options? :))) on the new macro, Nikon is limited in finances (((

    And the depth of field will increase when using macro rings and a converter. Specifically, TC2 + 70-200f2,8. I shoot birds at close range. How to increase the flu ???

    Please tell me. There is Nikon D90 + 50 1.8D + macro rings. In such a bundle, the Nissin Di 622 mark 2 external flash does not work. I put it both in manual mode on the camera and on
    nothing helps the flash. The built-in works fine, without rings and nyssin it works as it should, but with rings it doesn't work. Tell me can anyone faced such a problem. Thanks in advance! Non-autofocus rings.

    Good day. With kenon eos 1100d, my hobby is to shoot flowers. I wanted to buy a new lens and camera, I read your article, I realized that you can save a lot.
    Tell me, what do I need to buy in order to shoot small items, but so that they are full screen for my photo camera. From macro rings and what else.
    Thank you.
