Do the Kenko tubes ensure correctly the autofocus and lens stabilization connections? Some reviews say that only canon ef12ii and ef25ii versions do it (indeed previous ef12 and ef25 did not ensure compatibility with efs objectives)

@dps6198 4 года назад

I was hoping to see image comparison and auto focus test.

@ramenmasri6277 7 лет назад

What is that tripod you had under your camera? Can you please leave a link if you can find one?

@f3f022 Год назад

This video is about something other than what the topic says. Your message is like, "I don't know Kenko, so I rather buy Canon because of some scare", considering that "original" stuff will save your life. The most important things for viewers are how well Kenko rings' bayonets are made, whether they move or not when attached, how well the electric connectors are made and whether it provides guaranteed connection, etc. The 10.000 lens price does not relate to the topic. You may ruin your expensive lens in 10.000 other ways, but I don't think, for this reason, you have to buy only the "original" camera shoulder strap, camera case, bag for the lens, "canon-made" CPL filters or tripods, or even lens caps.

I'm not a Canon user, but if the Kenko tubes are as good as that, then I'm sure they'll be good enough for my modest needs. Thanks!

@PeteSztencel 7 лет назад

A very helpful video, with good clear info. Thanks for posting! It's always a bit odd to hear a fellow Brit say 'levver' instead of 'leeever', though ;-) One major difference I noticed between the tubes was the internal finish. The Canon tubes were absolutely flat matt black inside; the Kenko tubes had inner surfaces that looked to be pale grey with reflected light. I do a bit of amateur macro photography (Nikon with extension tubes, lens reversal, etc) and I'm always alert for unwanted flare and internal reflections when arranging lights. The cheap XIT tubes I use (£25) are perfectly dull, flat matt black inside, just like your Canon set. Maybe I'm being too fussy - stray light may not be a problem with the Kenko tubes - but I did think the difference between them and your pukka set was striking. I'd be interested to see some tests to highlight (sic!) any differences.

@skakdosmer 4 года назад

I own all of these, and they all have dense grooves on the inside. On the Canon tubes the grooves are a little smaller and closer together than on the Kenko tubes. And if you look through the Kenkos against the light, there will be a little reflection which doesn’t occur on the Canons. Not sure if it'll make a difference in the image, though. But I guess if you’re very fussy and plan to shoot macro against the light, maybe you should prefer the Canons. But I have a feeling that in that case reflections in the lens might be more of a concern.

@sidneystanley2465 3 года назад

Surely by the title of this video, most people expected to see a comparison of the photographic quality using the 2 makes of extension tubes, after all thats what really matters.

@jon05syd 7 лет назад

OH..............a great review by the way. very well explained.

@irajnaghash 3 года назад

The purpose of using an extension tube is picture not strong quality. Just Take a picture and show autofocusing? depth of field? Does the electric connection and locking Damage the main Camera?

@markferrell2470 4 года назад

I could give a care less if the plastic caps “ seem” cheap they protect what they need to, I bought 3 tube set for $30.00 and they work just fine.

@puddytat62 7 лет назад

Can I assume both canon and Kenko are made of plastic? I bought some super cheap ones for around 30 supposedly Vivitar and they do work fairly well even with the auto focus on identical camera to yours. But they do have a cheap plastic feel to them and are a bit sloppy when you connect to a lens. A slight jiggle at the connection point. Do both the Kenko and Canon have this kind of jiggle>??

@tjtube263 7 лет назад

michael b Nah, they fit much tighter. A three piece stack feels like one, solid piece. There's no slack. That's why I traded up.

Hello 🇧🇸 I have a Canon T7i which will size fits my camera? Will it be 1:1 ratio?

@MrMackanno 6 лет назад

Mounting both Canon tubes (12 and 25mm) will give you more tan 1:1 on a nifty-fifty, BUT don't bother spending your money on these guys, get the Kenko kit, it's excellent quality, more versatility and price far outpaces the Canon, I bought the Kenko kit several years ago and use them a lot and they are amazing. If you want to explore Macro photography I strongly suggest you get the kit and play with the lenses you have already before investing on a true macro like the EF-100 f/2.8L IS that is gorgeous!

@brianthomas6500 5 лет назад

It all depends on what lens you use. A longer lens help with working distance, insects etc tend to fly if you get too close. Also if too close you can block light, something you loose when fitting tubes. At life size its 2 stops.

@jimkok1957 4 года назад

What about auto focus?

@Bricktop784 4 года назад

Both of these sets pass through the electronic contacts, so AF, aperture control, lens metadata etc.. all works. Purely mechanical extension tubes (without AF support etc..) are in a much lower price range, something like 20$ for a set. (Edit: However, because of the reduced light transmission and the shallower depth of field, AF may become more difficult to use effectively. But that applies equally to Canon as well as 3rd party extension tubes).

@jon05syd 7 лет назад

Just wondered if when testing the kenco tubes, there was any noticable difference in the images taken between them and the canon ones.

No glass in tubes. Its all down to what lens you use.

@undercoverlegacy4724 7 лет назад

what about adding these to the 100mm Macro L series lens? will it get me more of a super macro?

@robertedwards1145 7 лет назад

It will. At which point you realise you need a focus rail, super still subject and stacked images to deal with the tiny depths of field.

@skakdosmer 4 года назад

You can even use them with the Canon 65mm MP-E or (in my case) the Venus Laowa 25mm Ultra Macro. The entire Kenko set will increase the magnification from 5x to about 7x. According to the manual at f/2.8 the depth of field without the tubes is already down to 0.04mm = one twenty fifth of a millimeter. A normal sheet of printing paper is around a tenth of a millimeter, so to call the dof “paper thin” would really be an understatement. How much more shallow it is with the tubes, I have no idea - let’s just say “ridiculously shallow”.

When shooting macro its best to manual focus, use live view if you have it and magnify on screen.

it's a freaking whole full of air. What image quality do you expect from air? There will be no image degradation with any of them. It comes down to the hardware experience you get using those extension tubes.

@@Daniel-Condurachi kenko tubes have much more internal reflections. Which may cause loss of contrast in some areas of image, if you use close apetrure.
