p.1 #1 · [HELP] Ext Tube+50mm hazy result !!

Hi

I'm just starting out on macro using extension tube + 50mm F1.8 @F11, but I'm having this horrible haze in the middle of the photo, does anyone know what caused this and how could I fix it ??

thanks
Richard.

looks like you have light reflection, are you using natural light?
are you shooting at an angle?

Hi James

I'm getting this haze with or without flash. The above photo was taken with the flash mounted on the camera and deflected by a home made diffuser.

Geee .. yours came out perfect !!

try backing up a little and use your focus ring to dail in on the focus and change
your lighting. try this, take a flashlight and shine it on your object, put your camera
in maual mode and dail in for correct expose, take a shot and see what happens.
hope that helped you..

What extension tube(s) are you using ?
As commented above you are either getting light shining directly in the lens or you have a light leak somewhere from the tubes etc not being fitted correctly ?
