does anyone know where i can just buy ONE extension tube for canon mount (no magnification)? so far, the shops i went to only sells them in a set. or do i really have to buy them in a set of 3?

TIA!

Sorry to ask but I do not see any information on this item on the website (Canon case), although I know it exist for some time already. Kind to share with me the official link to the product spec?

Hey Sam!

You can give me the ones you don't want!

Or I can buy it off you! hehe...

I bought a single 25mm ext tube from TCW. IMO, this is the most useful length at 25mm. Shorter tube doesn't give you much magnification. Longer tube gives far too much and get far too close to yr subject and become extremely difficult to focus. 25mm the best.

MS Color sells 25mm extension tubes. About $90+ IIRC.

I thought they dun sell a single tube anymore. They sell in set, 3 in 1 set.

hi, folks!

yeah, sumball is rite abt this. dats why i'm

my head on the wall. i remember some shops used to sell kenko (?) by a single unit b4. but, nowadays, they package it as 12, 25 and 32mm IIRC.

darn... looks like i have to go and buy the entire set... i actually only need either the 25 or 32 to cut the min focusing distance of my 70-200mm for portraiture.

cp still sells the 25 as a single. the 3-pack one does not have the 25.

Hi,

I am quite new to photography. What does this extension tube do? What is the current price?

Regards

madmacs · 23rd January 2005

the set of 3 tubes now $206 at cp.

Hello Sammy,

Have you got it? How much did you pay? Luckily I got my 25mm used after I realised they dun sell any single tube but in set months ago.

Good luck!

actually i tested the tubes last week. the af really borders on being useless. faster to manual focus. tested both canon and nikon versions btw.

I find it quite troublesome after mounted it on cos i simply cant focus infinity, got to stick to that particular close distant.

In fact, I dun find any AF problem using my Sigma 180mm.
