Hasselblad Extension Tube H26 mm

Hasselblad Extension Tube H26mm

Hasselblad engineered the Hasselblad Extension Tube H in the 26mm size to provide a significant boost in magnification for H System photographers. First, this intermediate-length ring increases the distance between the lens and the image plane. Furthermore, this physical extension allows your HC and HCD lenses to focus at much closer range than their standard factory specifications. As a result, you can capture striking, frame-filling macro images of small subjects while utilizing the elite resolving power of your existing glass.

In addition, the 26mm tube maintains the high-speed electronic communication essential for professional workflows. Specifically, it features a robust nine-pin interface that transfers all exposure and lens data to the camera body. Moreover, this integration ensures that autofocus and leaf shutter synchronization function exactly as they would on a native lens. Ultimately, the precision-machined metal housing provides a rock-solid connection for the heaviest professional optics. Therefore, the Hasselblad Extension Tube H stands as a versatile and powerful tool for product, nature, and medical photographers.

Key Features & Highlights

• 26mm Medium-Length Extension: This tube offers double the extension of the H13mm version. Accordingly, it provides a significantly higher reproduction ratio, making it ideal for detailed close-ups of flowers, textures, and small products.

• Full Electronic Integration: The tube passes all data between the lens and the camera sensor. Hence, you retain full TTL metering and aperture control, ensuring your exposure remains accurate even at close range.

• Leaf Shutter Compatibility: The extension ring does not hinder the high-speed flash sync capabilities of the H System. Furthermore, you can continue to use strobe lighting at all shutter speeds up to 1/2000s for professional macro lighting setups.

• Stackable Design for Extreme Macro: Hasselblad designed the 26mm tube to work seamlessly with the H13mm and H52mm rings. Consequently, you can combine multiple tubes to reach life-size magnification or beyond for extreme detail work.

• Retains Autofocus Functionality: The tube supports the internal autofocus motors of most HC and HCD lenses. Meanwhile, this allows for quick initial focusing before you use the manual focus ring for final, critical adjustments.

• All-Metal Professional Build: Hasselblad uses heavy-duty alloys to ensure the mount remains rigid and light-tight. As a result, you can safely mount large telephoto lenses like the HC 210mm for long-distance macro work without any structural play.

• Adapted System Versatility: This accessory performs flawlessly on H System bodies and when adapting H lenses to the X2D or 907X. Specifically, it pairs perfectly with the XH Converter to bring H-series macro capabilities to the mirrorless X System.

• Zero Optical Degradation: Because this tube contains no glass elements, it introduces no flare, distortion, or chromatic aberration. Therefore, the Hasselblad Extension Tube H preserves the uncompromising contrast and sharpness of your high-performance lenses.
