Kenko DG Macro tubes for Canon
12mm, 20mm, 36mm with box
If you're looking to get into macro photography cheaply, this is a great option. These high quality tubes are as good as the Canon offerings but at half the price. The tubes communicate with the camera so allow you to adjust apperature. Not all the aftermarket tubes do. And there's no glass in the tubes that can degrade the image. They just pull the lens further away from the sensor. The advantages are clear. They allow you to use existing lenses, give you better quality than close up lenses and are a cost effective way to try out a different kind of photography. Plus, the Kenko tubes hold their value pretty well so when you do buy that dedicated macro, you can get most of what you paid. Just like a good lens. You don't see Kenko tubes being sold very often because people tend to hold onto them. I didn't want to risk my camera and mount with the cheaper tubes. There are horror stories all over the web by people that couldn't get the tubes off of their camera. Of course, there are plenty of people that have had no issues, too. You take your chances with any third-party, Chinese-made products. These are actually made in Japan and are in great condition. You'll definitely have fun.
