Hi


I have canon EF-S 60 mm Marco lens. The Kenko tubes unfortunately cannot be used with EF-S lenses :( I think, I have to use the Canon extension tubes:dunno


Could you tell me please what is difference with 12 mm and 25 mm extension?


Thanks in advance

    I'm pretty sure Brian can help you with this thumb.gif
    I believe you can get Kenko's that work with the EF-S 60mm.

    Hi, If you get a kenko set from Hong Kong using Ebay they do now accept EF-S lenses (but seem to be only available in the far east). Alternatives are a set of pro-optic tubes from Adorama in the US.
    It's cheaper to buy a set than the tubes separately. The different length of tubes just give you different magnifications.

    You'll get about 2.2:1 with 68mm, about 1.6:1 with 33mm etc.
