[QUOTE="Pierro, post: 88395, member: 8517"] As long as you get a chipped tube set, it matters not really. There's nothing in an ext. tube that can really choke things up. Then only caveat would be that you're trying to turn a regular lens into a macro lens. True macro lenses ( this doesnt include the pathetic marketing crap where they say a lens is macro when what they actually means is its just ' CLOSE FOCUS ' ) are built differently to a regular lens. Macro lenses raison detre is incredible sharp photos at rediculously close focus @ 1:1 image size on the sensor. Regular lenses are not built that way, but having said that, you can get some superb images using non macro lenses with tubes or by other means, like reverse mounting something like a 28mm prime [/QUOTE]
