Hello,
I just bought a Canon FD 50mm f/3.5 Macro lens + 25mm Extension tube, but as soon as I put the extension tube, everything gets blurred.
I tried on 50mm f/1.4, 28mm f/2.8 too, but nothing changes when I pull the focus. (there's nothing wrong with those lenses)

It doesn't seem there's a problem on the tube since it doesn't have any glass on it.

Does anyone know how to get focus with the extension tube?

Thank you very much.
 
on my 50mm 1.4, it took me a minute, because i didn't realize quite how close you must get to the subject. it's withing 2 or 3 inches...and if you're shooting at f1.4, your slice of focus is razor thin. just practice moving the camera back and forth slowly while finding focus.

hope that helps.
 
Chris,

Yeah, I figured after a while.
It's amazing that all the lenses become like a macro.
thanks anyways ;)
