GH2 GH2 and macro extension rings?

[Steve_Karl]

Does anyone have any experience with macro rings?
I was thinking of ordering these.

I just ordered the set he reviewd last week, they look identical to the ebay link you posted. They work great, full electronic control and images look awesome.

Thanks Erik!

What lenses are you using with them?

See my post on the other site. I ordered these under the Neewer brand (on amazon) at $27 and change, recieved Meike brand which looks exactly identical to what you linked, SkyBlue, and of course Meike. What I got works perfectly.

best used with 25mm and longer primes, some of the reviewers are very happy with the longer end of the "kit" lens and on longer zooms. I've used mine (just yesterday, see my avatar) with the Panasonic Leica DG Summilux 25mm f1.4 (short tube) and the next lens I try will be the Olympus 45mm f1.8.
