Extension Tubes

[vader88]

For you guys who have them, can you please post some pics and your likes/ dislikes. I just ordered a set off ebay for 130 shipped and it includes a 12/20/36 . It's for the canon and works with the EF and EFS lenses. Kenko of course.


Thanks

Ive have a set just like those, and they are really nice, but a pain to deal with because they reaquire you to use WAY more light, which in turn slows the shutter even more. However i do like them much better than teleconvertors, as they add another piece of glass, and can diminish image quality.

Just what I have noticed, hope this helps.

BTW, ive used them with a 150mm macro simga, and a 90mm tamron macro, and results over all were good, but man that camera get LONG, be careful if you shoot overhead not to dip your lens in the water

Are you sure the Kenko tubes you got are for EF-S lenses? I have the EF-S 60mm F/2.8 and it doesn't attach to my Kenko tubes, I believe they are only for EF mount. I hope you didn't have your heart set on that. But I like my set of tubes. I use them with my Sigma 150mm when corals are closer than the lenses minimum focusing distance to go beyond 1:1 magnification. You do loose light so a tripod/shutter release is a must when using them.

The ones I got are supposedly supposed to work with EFS lenses. Surely, someone on ebay wouldn't lie. LOL .. If it didn't work, not major since I only have one EFS lens
