Viltrox is a Chinese company that’s really impressed me over the last couple of years. They make some of my favorite lenses, ranging from extremely compact and lightweight ‘Air’ series primes to imposing, full-featured ‘Pro’ and ‘Lab’ series lenses. A common link throughout is that Viltrox lenses deliver very good performance for their class, at extremely competitive prices.
The set of two extension tubes that I’m reviewing here isn’t a lens as such, as it has no glass elements. Instead, it transforms regular lenses, giving them much greater close-up abilities. Available in Leica L and Nikon Z mount options, the Viltrox aims to be one of the best extension tube sets on the market for Leica, Panasonic, Sigma and Nikon mirrorless cameras. However, I think it’s a bit of a shame that the tubes aren’t available in additional mount options for the likes of Canon, Fujifilm, Sony and other makes of camera.
