Canon EF25 II Extension Tube

Comments about Canon EF25 II Extension Tube:

This device allowed me an inroad into macro photography without the expense of purchasing a dedicated macro lens. Although expensive in comparison with some third party offerings it has the usual solid Canon construction and works faultlessly with my 70-200mm lens. Fiddlier to mount and demount but no more so than an extender. This is a new area for me and I am still experimenting with best practise but I have obtained some very pleasing results so far. I still feel it is expensive for an empty tube.

Great for use in conjunction with a 50mm prime or zoom. This will take you into a whole new world without having to invest heavily.

The extender is helpful, simple to use and increased the capacity of your selection of lenses in taking macro pictures.

Comments about Canon EF25 II Extension Tube:

If you can't justify spending hundreds on a macro lens, this extension tube allows any Canon lens to produce extraordinary close-ups of tiny objects with no loss of quality. And if you get other lenses in the future, you can still use the extension tube with those too. Yes, it is overpriced (like every other Canon SLR product or accessory) but in my opinion is a much better idea than spending hundreds on a dedicated macro lens that you might rarely use. Versatile, light, much more sensible than a 3-tube kit, and full Canon quality.

I bought this to use when travelling light with my 70-200 F4 and negate the need for a dedicated macro lens. It works a treat, at 70mm working distance is very close (too close probably :-)) and by 200mm it is about a half meter.

Quality is excellent and while it doesn't give true 1:1 macro capabilities, it is very nice for bugs, butterflies etc.

My only gripe was the price is a bit steep for a bit of air!
