INTRODUCTION Thank You for choosing Oben! The Oben MFR4-5 is a macro focusing rail designed for precise camera-to-subject focusing ideal for macro photography or exacting close-up work. The two stages of the focusing rail provide fine control on two axes: left-to-right and front-to-back. This macro focusing rail is compatible with any camera that has a 1/4″-20 threaded socket as well as cameras with a 3/8″ threaded socket when using a 3/8″-1/4″-20 bushing.
