We have recently fallen deep into macro, mainly to collect photos of insects and thus have bought a set of extension tubes from Meike, which looked like a reasonably known brand and they had good reviews.
But those tubes are an absolute piece of crap.
I don't even know how anyone has the audacity to sell this - the tubes are simply not manufactured correctly and they don't hold the lens securely enough, to the point that the lens has fallen out several times and ended up on the ground while being carried around and the repair is gonna cost a few hundred euro. This is an L lens (70-200/4) with a metal mount and this has never happened to us with any lens mounted in a camera. But the bracket in the extension tube is just wrong ...
Can someone please recommend some actually reliable extension tubes? Contacts for AF are absolutely necessary.
