using ext tubes on 602? what is it?

shawntim · 13th November 2002

I read that using extension tubes is another method of getting close up shots. Extension tubes extend your prime lens out right?

So I reckon that it cannot be used on the 602?

Extension tubes are for SLRs with inter-changable lens. They go in between the lens and the body, extending the distance between the front element of the lens and the film plane.

For S602, you have to rely solely on close-up filters.

thanks!

Looks like the only other option i'm asking is macro lens.. is it also possible with 602? they are not closeup filter..

Look at macro lens as an expensive close-up filter.

They are usually multi-element (as opposed to single element +1 to +4 close-up filters by Hoya, or the double element +10) to correct for distortion and CA. Of coz, you have to pay a lot more for that.
