Well, that was quite clear - thanks again!

I s'pose I just can buy some extension tubes, they may be quite useful with many lenses.

As I have no experience whatsoever with these - which tubes would I need? Should I stick to Nikon, or Kenko set is good enough quality (mechanical - as there are no optics)?

Kenko is fine quality. Nikon would be fine too, I am sure. Just be sure to get ones that route through the motor drive screw for the lens (I am not familiar with the Nikon ones, but I am sure they do that).



Yes, there are no optics.. all they do is compress the focus-ability.

I do not know what length you need. On my 70-200mm from Canon I use a 12mm one, which gives me about 1:3 macro. But my Canon focusses a bit closer (1.2m standard). A kenko set comes with 36, 24 and 12mm I think, and you can find out which extension length gives you what you need with whichever lens you use them with.
