Does this tube work without an aperture ring in the lens?

Yes and it will autofocus. I use it with my d600 and 24-70 f2.8 and 70-200mm. You just adjust the aperture on the camera just like any other lens.

As far as I know, there is no threading, at least in the one I got about three years ago. The outside diameter is about 69mm, and it has no threads. I saw a mod by a German guy on YouTube and I did the same. I bought a 72mm rubber lens hood, removed the rubber part and kept the plastic ring. Then I wrapped some electrician's tape around the lens, so I could fit the&#65279; plastic ring on it without any glue: I just pressed and turned the ring, and it got stuck pretty tightly. Now I can use a 72mm UV or polarizing filter.&#65279;

Yes. The aperture ring on the adapter isn't very precise, but it does work.

No. A self-adhesive thin metal ring attaches to the front of the lens barrel. The filter mount has an integrated magnet that will stick to the metal ring. Check carryspeed.com for a video of the mounting process. I hope this helps.

No, it is just a tube with lenses and light. However, works well, I like it.

You can save money and buy an adapter without aperture ring or you can buy this and use your aperture ring or the one on the adapter...it is up to you, the adapter will work in any case but if you don't need to use newer EF lens (without aperture ring), maybe you can go cheaper and buy an adapter without aperture ring (check on the B&H; website for the best option and then you can look on Ebay or Amazon for the best price...)

It does come with a tripod ring. At least mine did. Man, do you need it! The ring is on the larger part of the tube so the heaviest part is always supported. I have been able to take some pretty decent shots with this thing including one of a cruise ship 5 miles away at night... I could see someone with their tv on and people walking on the deck.

It is a fixed lens and there are no rings on the front of the lens. As far as I know, no lens modifications are possible.

There is a little threading but when i asked customer support the same question via email they said there wasn't. I don't know what diameter the lens is and i doubt there is a 3rd party filter. However i did do an amazon search and found one that looks like it is mounted to the lens with three screws. But with it being a zoom lens I don't think it would stay on when fully retracted.

Yes, you have to use the correct metal ring, included in the kit, for the lens to connect properly.

I'm not sure if the lens will work without an adapter sold by Opteka. I would caution you about this lens in that it is difficult to focus and get your exposures correct. Also the lens is not suitable for any subjects that are in motion as the aperture settings are slow and require long exposures. Hope this was helpful.

I just bought an adapter ring that accepts 67mm filters. So far, so good. I can't believe that Nikon offers NO support for this. I tried the 'tube' adapter and it really didn't work for me at all. I zoom in and out all the time and with the tube on you can't do that. I will say that the adapter ring that I bought was REALLY loose at first and I didn't think it would work out. It seems to have seated itself to my camera no and stays on quite nicely.

Hi Soozi,The adapter ring, itself, only seemed to go on with a partial twist. 1/4 to 1/2 revolution. The lens (UV) probably has about one and 7/8 revolutions. Just an estimate from my inexperienced eye. Mine seems quite solid. I have one issue though. I put the UV lens on first and the CPL over it. Now I'm having issues getting the CPL off. Any ideas out there?

It's a kind of filter. You can use it with any lens which has ring size = 52mm. No adapter needed. Good luck.

Actually, the lens that is matched to this camera is the "G" version. It will auto-focus and it has no aperture ring.Cheers - JRH

Yes, absolutely. It is equipped with full synchronization between the body and lenses trough the rings. So, that means you can use manual control of the aperture.
