Does anyone use the Kenko extension tube set (Canon fit)? Are they OK and does anyone know if they provide full AE and AF with Canon 20d and Canon EF lenses? They are so much cheaper and look more versatile than the Canon ones...
Cheers Mark.

I don`t use this combo,but I am pretty sure that it will work from what i`ve read.

I have the kenko tubes, they keep the full electronic signal between camera and lens although autofocus is of limited use for macro work. They won't accept an EFS lens without modification tho. Jessops also do a set for around the same price.

Just confirming PXL8: I'ved use them too for about a year now, and they work identically to the Canon tubes, as confirmed by my Canon dealer that sold them to me. The great thing is you get three of them in the set. Seeing as there is no glass in them, quality of image unaffected.
Good luck!
