It's just a hollow tube with no optics. I use the uniplus 25mm and it works just fine, with metering, AF, etc. Brand shouldn't matter much unless it's crappily made with bad machining or build quality.

1) The first is sold as a set consisting of 3 tubes of different lengths. The second is sold individually.

2) The lengths of the individual tubes (both types) are different.

Other than the above, they are essentially the same.

I'm using the 25mm Uniplus too. Even though it's "barrel" is made out of plastic it seems to be able to take quite a lot of weight (>1.5kg) without breaking or flexing.

How much is the uniplus 25mm tube ?
thinking of getting one of it .

now the question, do you really need the set of 3 tubes?
