Thank you for choosing the
Vello Macrofier. This unique
accessory allows you to
reverse mount any Canon EF
or EF-S lens to your Canon
DSLR camera, facilitating
close and even closer macro
and micro photography. An
economical alternative to
purchasing macro lenses, this
all-metal item can also act as
an extension tube, with the
ability to add an unlimited
number of additional tube
extensions. Additionally, the
built-in circuitry cable enables
your lens to communicate
with your camera, even when
the mounting is reversed,
allowing for automatic control
of the aperture and focus.
The Macrofier is the ultimate
accessory for those interested
in close-up, macro photography.
