I really like playing with these. You have to get very close to your subject and it works best on manual focus mode. You do lose some sharpness around the edges but sometimes that adds to the photo.

I have a Canon 2.8L 100mm macro lens, and a Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX II. Was disappointed that I couldn't focus real close to the insect so I got this extension tube. Works good most of the time but if the bug is on a big surface like a big leaf or a wall, I get this huge flare that ruins the picture. See pictures. All the fur and details of the bugs washed out by this flare. I think the insides are not well made so it's reflecting light in a bad way. If the bug is on a small flower, the flare isn't bad and can be fixed with Photoshop. Also I can't stack all 3, I would get an Error on my 7D Mark II or 5D Mark II. I can stack 2.

I tried these out yesterday and I def need more practice. I was not able to get all 3 to work together, but using my 24mm with the 20mm tube I was able to get some pics. I wanted these for my flower gardens, so we will give it some more practice, but so far I am not disappointed.
I have added a pic with just the 24mm using the 70D before and after the extension tube.

Works great on my camera. Good sale price. Does exactly what I needed.
A:AnswerA conversion (extension) tube's main purpose is for macro-photography. It allows you to get within a few mm of your subject and capture the tiniest details. The "downside" of such macro-photography is the extremely limited depth of field. One millimeter off, and your subject is blurred. For that reason, a small but steady tripod is necessary unless you have surgeon's hands and can keep the lens totally still.
On the other hand, a teleconverter changes the "zoom" area of a lens. For example, if you have a 24 - 105 mm zoom lens, adding a 2x teleconverter will give you essentially a 48 - 210 mm zoom lens. The downside of this is that it also cuts you aperture in half. Say your lens is an f/4, with a 2x teleconverter, you now have an f/8, thus requiring a pretty bright day for any types of action shots. While you can "zoom" in on subjects with your teleconverter, the closest distance allowed to your subject is also increased respectively, but your depth of field is not quite as critical as with a conversion (extension) tube. For example, if your normal lens allows you to get within 6 feet of your subject, if you add the teleconverter, it will require you to get back, perhaps 10-12 feet.
Back in the early1950s, when I first started in photography, I had no money for extension tubes, so I covered a toilet paper tube with black paper on the inside and placed my lens in front of it, while I held the contraption to my camera. I got some really nice shots. Of course, I shot B&W film because it was cheaper, and I developed it myself in the bathtub. Those were the days.
As to the EFS mounts, I do not know if this tube set can be used on it.
