Overview:
This close-up accessory is 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.
- The result of using extension tubes is that the distance from the back of the lens to the film surface is longer, which means you can take photographs at shorter distances to the subject.
- Extension tubes are thus commonly used for macro photography and sometimes for closeup portraits.
- When using the camera's TTL metering system, no exposure compensation will be required (exposure compensation is required for handheld meters).
- This updated version II is now also fully compatible with Canon Digital EF-S lenses, as well as standard photo EF and TS-E lenses.
- Extension Tube EF 25 II is recommended for lenses with a focal length of 50mm and up (EF-S 18-55mm can be used at middle and tele zoom settings).
