Re: MACRO adapter for NX lenses & lens shade for NX 30mm f2

It has nothing to do with covering the full frame sensor (which was proven to be false, 85mm does not cover it) since extension tubes work by moving the lens away from camera, giving you the effect of teleconvertor (you see only central part of original image) with added bonus of shortening the mfd.

Also, the effect is more pronounced on shorter focal lengths, you can calculate yourself by using http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/macro-extension-tubes-closeup.htm
(it's also a great resource for many things photo related)
