Hello everyone, I thought I might be able to use my Kenko extension tubes that I use for my old ( but loved ) A-77 on my NEX 6 but seems not. So can anyone recommend a decent brand of tubes for the NEX?

I would like to use them with my Sony SELP1650 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 lens.

Many thanks.

The cheap plastic ones I have work fine. I think they are Meike/Neewer branded. They have electrical contacts. I can't say I've used them with the PZ 16-50.

It is kinda unfortunate that the extensions mess up translation stabilization as that is more helpful at higher magnifications. It would be nice to have extensions that worked properly with that.

Thanks for this. I was looking at these two on Amazon.ca...

OK I Just have to ask; The a77 is old and loved from 2011 but the NEX-6 from 2012 is not old or just unloved?

Too Funny!

I love them both. My A-77 never lets me down and I feel the same about my NEX. Of course, the NEX is lighter in weight and a bit easier to carry around but I take care of both bodies and am loyal to both.

Take care and thanks!
