Kenko Extension Tube Set

[mluz]

I just bought a canon 40D with 28-135mm lens. Eventually i would like to buy a Macro lens for it.

I am looking for opinions on buying a kenko extension tube set. If you have used it or something similar please chime in.

I have one.. you aren't gonna get as good results as a 400-500 macro lens but it works great for shooting corals.

What lens or lenses are using with it?

Do you have any issues with focusing distance?

Thanks

I really just use it with my 18-55mm stock lens and I'm happy with the results

I was just asking because i was reading in RC that some people were haveing issues with the distance frm the subject.

Depending on the lens you may have to be very close to the coral like less than an inch.

Either way i think it may a cheap option before i finally get a true macro lens.

But first i have to figure out this camera :tongue1:
