I believe they are probably all made in the same factory, just renamed rebadged! I have used them on my old 25mm too, they got closer than 1:1, but I like the convenience on the longer lens of getting really close from a distance. A simple crop and you’re at 1:1 or more anyway. Enjoy your time away! And take plenty of photos!!!

Hello Mark, For what it is, I think the Fuji tubes are too expensive, especially if you don’t use them much like me. I hadn’t heard of Movo here, another alternative here is JJC and also Caruba – all in the same price range – and probably all from the same (Chinese) factory 🙂
I’m going to try your tip of using them on a longer lens, I also have the 50-230, and maybe it will work well on the 70-300 too.
Anyway, sorry for the late response, now that the holidays have come, we are away a lot, with the grandchildren or just the two of us.
Have a great weekend Mark!

Very nice. One of the first things I did when I went Fujifilm is pick up a set of macro rings. I had always had a dedicated macro lens, so just needed something. I picked up a set of Movo autofocusing rings, 10mm, 16mm and 21mm (total 46mm) which I really enjoy using. Quite often I couple them to the 50-230mm and they give excellent results with fast focusing. I’ll have to try it with the 18-135mm and 23mm actually. Of course, quite often I just use them manually too, depending on what I’m doing. Great article Marc!
