I am looking to get a set of Extension Tubes to experiment with Macro before I dive in with a dedicated Macro lens. I have had my eye on the Kenko Extension tubes, as I have heard that they are the only ones that provide all of the electronic connections necessary to operate the aperture and metering. Looking at the B&H Website, they list the Vello as a similar product, and it does have some of the electrical connections, but I can't find if I will be able to adjust the aperture or not using AI-S lenses. All that I can see is that they don't work with AI lenses, but I don't know how that would translate to AI-S lenses. Can anyone confirm that you can control the aperture using the Vello tubes?
Also, how is the quality of these tubes? The Kenkos are $200, while the Vellos are $80. I am sure that I would be giving up a little bit of quality with the Vellos, but I am looking for advice on whether I should 'pony-up' for the Kenkos, or if the Vellos would be worth my time. I am only planning on using the 50mm 1.8, so no really heavy lenses.
Thanks for any suggestions!
