Title: Adapter on lens or tube?
Post by: smahn on July 26, 2009, 02:48:29 am

I want to mount a Nikon lens onto an EOS body with an extension tube. The tube has not yet been bought. Should I get a Nikon ext tube, mount the lens to it, and put the lens adapter between the tube and the camera? Or get a Canon tube and put the adapter between the tube and the lens?

Where best for the adapter, and in what sequence should items be attached?

Adaptor manufacturer will provide instructions.
