Hasselblad Extension Tube - H13mm

Its primary function is to allow your Hasselblad H series lens to focus closer to the subject, effectively increasing magnification for detailed close-up photography.

No, the H13mm extension tube is specifically designed for the Hasselblad H series camera system and is not compatible with 500 or 200 series cameras.

No, the extension tube is an empty tube with no optical elements. It works by increasing the distance between the lens and the camera sensor/film.

It significantly reduces the minimum focusing distance, allowing you to get much closer to your subject than the lens's native minimum focus allows.

Yes, attaching an extension tube will reduce the lens's ability to focus at infinity or very distant subjects.

No, it attaches simply between the lens and the camera body with a twist-lock mechanism, similar to mounting a lens.

The numbers indicate the length of the tube in millimeters. A longer tube (like HE52mm) provides greater magnification and closer focusing capability than a shorter tube (like H13mm).

Ensure the extension tube is securely locked onto both the lens and camera body. Check that you are using a compatible H series lens and camera. Re-seat the lens and tube.

Extension tubes can impact autofocus. For critical focus, manual focus is often recommended. Ensure good lighting conditions.

Extension tubes reduce the amount of light reaching the sensor. Use a wider aperture if possible, increase ISO, or add artificial lighting.

Verify that you are attempting to mount it on an H series camera and lens. Ensure the mounting rings are free of debris and properly aligned before twisting to lock.
