Meike is a Hong Kong-based company with global reach, specializing in the design and manufacture of cine lenses, camera lenses, lens adapters and accessories including flashguns, macro ring flash, camera grips and, lest we forget, macro extension tubes. Keeping pace with the shift to mirrorless cameras, Meike offers fully automatic, electronically coupled extension tube sets in Canon RF, Nikon Z, Sony E and Leica L-mount options.
Not just the same two-tube sets with different mounting plates and electronic connectors, the tubes have varying lengths for different mount option. The RF and L-mount versions have physical lengths of 13mm and 18mm, the Nikon Z version comprises 11mm and 18mm tube lengths, and the Sony E-mount set that I’m reviewing here has 10mm and 16mm lengths. All are full-frame compatible but you can also use them on APS-C format cameras of the respective brands, where you get a 1.5x increase in ‘effective’ magnification factor, thanks to the crop factor. All in all, the kits aim to be among the best extension tube sets available for mirrorless cameras.
