It’s a hollow metal cylinder, 27.5mm of pure intention, containing absolutely nothing, which is precisely the point.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBorn in Japan during the late 1960s, when Nikon was building things as though they expected to be judged by posterity (they were right), the M2 was engineered as a devoted companion to the 55mm Micro-Nikkor \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.foxandtalbot.com\/collections\/nikon-f-mount\" title=\"Shop our Nikon F mount lenses\"\u003elenses\u003c\/a\u003e. It nudges them from a polite 1:2 reproduction ratio to a full, unflinching 1:1. That is life-size, no apologies, and no glass inside to muddy the truth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt weighs around 100 grams, fits like a firm handshake, and will almost certainly outlast your grandchildren. Does it change the focal length? It does not. It simply moves the lens farther from the sensor or film, which is the optical equivalent of leaning in closer to hear a secret. It does cost you two stops of light at 1:1, which is the universe's tax on intimacy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnd mind the AI coupling tab on certain \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.foxandtalbot.com\/collections\/digital-cameras\" title=\"Shop our digital cameras\"\u003eDSLR\u003c\/a\u003es, or the M2 will remind you, in the bluntest mechanical terms, that it predates such courtesies. It was eventually replaced by the more diplomatically evolved PK-13.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eToday it's beloved for film scanning, landing 35mm negatives in perfect 1:1 framing with an almost eerie exactness, as if it always knew that its highest calling wasn't capturing the world, but preserving it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nikon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48274270027963,"sku":"35MM-NIKO-100225","price":18.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/6960\/6331\/files\/download_3ed27e34-3551-4a2d-8efe-91645aeeb993.jpg?v=1787244057","url":"https:\/\/www.foxandtalbot.com\/products\/nikon-m2-macro-extension-tube-55mm-lens","provider":"Fox and Talbot Cameras","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
