I’ve been having a ton of fun with Fujifilm’s new XF70-300mm f\/4-5.6 OIS WR lens<\/a> during the past couple of weeks. With its very long focal length zoom, relatively lightweight design and incredible image quality, this new 70-300 is a real winner<\/a>. It would be an excellent choice for anyone who shoots nature, sports, landscapes, portraits and travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most intriguing features about the 70-300, though, is that it has a minimum focus distance of only 32.7 inches (83 cm), which gives you wonderful closeup looks. Add in the 1.4x or 2x Teleconverters, and you magnify the image even more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what happens when you add in one of Fujifilm’s dedicated extension tubes, either the MCEX-11<\/a> or MCEX-16?<\/a> These are very small and affordable accessories that allow you to turn any Fuji lens into a closeup lens by further decreasing the minimum focusing distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
