Canon Auto Focus Extension Tube EF 12 II for Close-up and Macro Photography

2021-05-31T08:11:49

The Canon extension tubes are higher quality than other brands, and are much smoother mounting and unmounting. I strongly recommend them.

Pretty simple, well built, electrical contacts work perfectly. I got this to shorten the min focus distance on an EF 500 f4l for songbird photography. Works well.

Macro without the expensive lens. I highly recommend to amateurs and pros a like.

Nice for some macro photography with 50mm f/1.4 lens. Shot brides jewelery closeups with this.

This is just the what I was looking for increasing the zoom capability for my existing lens . I works as Intended

Excellent quality. Enough to justify the price being much higher than the imported clones? I think so. The fit and finish are great, and I'm glad I spent a little more for Canon quality.

This extension tube allows for very nice macro shots without spending money on an additional macro lens. So far the shots taken have been very good.

Very nice, well-made piece of equipment that does what it's supposed to do very well. Indispensable for really close, sharp flower shots. Highly recommended.

I take photographs of pollinators on flowers for exhibit and research purposes. This makes my life much easier and I love it.

This helps me get a little closer to my macro work and I love it . I would recommend to anyone that is into macro.

Allows use of "S" lenses on full frame, and retains autofocus.

Getting into macro photography.. Extension tube makes the process foolproof.

I bought this short extension tube along with the 25 mm extension tube for use with my 100 mm macro lens for close up and macrophotography. Although there are other extension tubes in the market, I preferred this made by Canon, because I know it to be a precision device designed to be a perfect match to my Canon equipment. I have used it, and it has performed exactly as I expected.

Does a great job of getting you in close for macro focusing. No additional optics to mess with your image, just an air gap behind your lens. Can be used with most every EF lens so it's a lot more versotile than a single macro lens costing HUNDREDS! You'll like it.

Great for inexpensively adding macro capability to pretty much any EF lens. There are no additional lenses in the unit to affect your image, just creates an air gap between your lens and the body. Simple as it gets.

I use this tube with my EF 100mm L series macro lens for... you guessed it - macro photography! Works exactly as expected. Build quality is of the typical high quality that comes with the Canon name (hence why I chose it vs. Kenko).

Canon quality, passes the electronic controls through to the lens. I am happy. Yes, I would love a 100mm USM Macro, but for the time being this works well enough for my tasks (which is photography of small electronic components).

not an exciting item, but adds macro function to several lenses

I guess I didn't realize that the Auto-Focus would not work with this extension tube. It only means that you have to move the camera to focus. Since things are very close by definition that isn't a serious problem, only a surprise.

This extension tube works with all my lenses & allows me to get from a few inches to a few centimeters away from details I really want to isolate & highlight. Best buy I've made all year.

I got this so I wouldn't have to carry a macro lens when I go to places like the zoo. It saves on weight and I can easily slip it in my pocket. I got both the EF 25 and the EF 12, the EF 25 for the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II, and the EF 12 for the Canon EF 24-70 f/2.8L. I found that these work great for aquarium shots. As good as a macro lens? No but it works great for close- up shots.

The tube does exactly what it is supposed to. the 12 mm works best with my 50 f/1.8 longer zooms will be better with a 25mm tube. The tube also works well with my 15-30 but only at the 30 end; I can focus on objects within 2" of the front element. All in all pretty useful if you want to try macro work without buying a macro lens.

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

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 [$].

I bought this to use for macro, I have been wanting to do it for a while...wish now I hadn't waited, it does just what I wanted

great piece to allow lenses to increase the magnification to macro levels without buying a macro lens.

I like the durability. It does the trick of turning my zoom into macro. I can't wait until this spring so I can take all of the flower and butterfly shots that I love.

Increase potential use of most of my EF lenses from wide angle to telephoto. Great selective depth of field tool.
