Comments about Canon Canon Auto Focus Extension Tube EF 12 II for Close-up and Macro Photography.:

A good unit that does what it's supposed to. It doesn't get as close in as the EF 25 II, but if you get both units, you get fairly good close up shot variety for less than the cost of a decent macro lens

Comments about Canon Canon Auto Focus Extension Tube EF 12 II for Close-up and Macro Photography.:

I bought this for my wife without really understanding what it does. This is for EXTREME closeup photos. Having seen what it is and what it does, I wish I had bought either a generic extension, or a different piece of equipment all together. The quality and performance are great...but it was [$].

Comments about Canon Canon Auto Focus Extension Tube EF 12 II for Close-up and Macro Photography.:

The Canon Auto Focus Extension Tube EF 12 II is very useful for photography of butterflys and moths. The auto focus feature helps capture the beauty of these quick moving creatures. When combined with an image stabilized 75 - 300 mm telephoto lens and the Canon XSi, the EF 12 II fills the frame at distances of ten to fifteen feet.

Comments about Canon Canon Auto Focus Extension Tube EF 12 II for Close-up and Macro Photography.:

I love this tube, it works fantastically! I specifically chose this lens, because it will work with the EF-S lenses as well as the EF lenses. The auto focus works well, although I do prefer to use the manual focus for fine work.
