Product Description
Extension Tube EF 25 II & EF 12 II These close-up accessories are placed between the camera body and lens to enable high-magnification photography. Eight electronic contact points allow communication between the camera and lens to continue as usual. The magnification differs according to the lens selected, but for standard zoom lenses it is about 0.3X to 0.5X for the EF 12 II and 0.7X or more for the EF 25 II. By using both tubes together, magnification can be extended. Manual focusing is recommended.

It works, Mar 15 2006
By Frank Doherty - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Canon EF 25 II Extension Tube for EOS Digital Cameras (Electronics)
I bought the extension tube to allow me to get closer pictures of flowers. While it is a bit expensive, it does its job. I have been able to take several very creative close-ups that I couldn't do with just my 100mm Canon macro lens. I would certainly buy it again. I use it all the time.

Works as Advertised, April 28 2006
By Brian Koch "Aspiring Photographer" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Canon EF 25 II Extension Tube for EOS Digital Cameras (Electronics)
You can focus closer than without it, but you lose the ability to focus all the way to infinity. AF and TTL work just as good as without this between the lens and body. If you are interested in macro work you may want to look at the 60mm or 100mm macro lens before buying this since they allow 1:1 reproduction without any special attachments.

Excellent piece of empty space, Oct 18 2005
By Kevin P. Barry - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Canon EF 25 II Extension Tube for EOS Digital Cameras (Electronics)
For a circle with a hole in it, this is well worth the money. Of course, you pay for the sturdiness of the piece, since poor build quality could definitely reduce the quality of your pictures. Don't be mislead by the description on Amazon, however. The site implies that this adds 25mm to your lens and that is it, whereas this will "macro-fy" your lenses. With this tube, my 28mm focuses from about 1-1.1" from the front of the lense, with a depth of field of a fraction of a mm at f/1.8. It's also strong enough to support my 200mm f/2.8L + 1.4x II, which is almost more than I can say for myself. My favorite use is in between my 85mm f/1.8 and 1.4x. I got stuck with a mark I, but I don't plan to use EF-S lenses anyway.
