Extension ring

A ‘spacer’ ring that fits between a lens and a camera body to allow it to focus closer for macro photography, for example. They are often sold in sets of three different sizes and can be used individually or in combination. They have gone out of fashion as lens design has become more complex and photographers have moved over to dedicated ‘macro’ lenses optimized for close-ups.
