[QUOTE="MPSanSouci, post: 245852, member: 15595"] Hark, I have not tried [Live View] .. I've always used the view finder unless I'm doing 'tripod' work. I do have a few pair of reading glasses as my reading vision is not all that great ( work related ). Distance is a tad better than perfect, but reading .. :crushed:. I do have to make an appt with my optometrist .. been a few years since my last and the eyes have gotten worse. Anyway .. I've received conflicting 'stories' as well regarding the Kenko tubes. As you found out, some sites say "Yes" while others say "No". The store I actually purchased them from, the sales rep told me "No", but since a rep directly from Kenko said "Yes", I had @ssumed that they know their product better than anyone .:distrust:. guess not! Using the 18-55mm, the Mrs. gets some activity from the auto-focus motor, but no actual results. She is fine with manual focusing and uses the [Live View] most of the time doing her macro work/shots. I tried the 20mm tube with my 70-300mm and nothing .. some activity, but nothing comes in focus at all. I cannot even manually focus on anything. Then the Mrs. said the tubes will not work with anything over 55mm .. then what about an 85mm macro lens :confused: . I thought that the tubes worked with just about any lens. Still waiting to hear back from the Kenko rep regarding my Email .. I'll post another update once I've heard back. Thank you all for your advise .. comments .. and suggestions.
