Product Information

Full details

The Canon Extension Tube EF 25 II is designed for photographers looking to explore the world of macro and close-up imagery without the need for expensive dedicated macro lenses. By increasing the physical distance between your existing EF, EF-S, or TS-E lens and the camera sensor, it enables significantly closer focusing distances while preserving your lens's original optical quality through its glass-free design. While it provides excellent magnification for tiny subjects, note that it is best optimized for lenses with a focal length of 50mm or greater to ensure consistent performance.

FAQs

Will I lose autofocus capability when using this tube?

No, the EF 25 II maintains full electronic contact, so autofocus will continue to function.

Can I use this with any Canon lens?

It is designed for EF, EF-S, and TS-E lenses. It is highly recommended to use it with lenses 50mm or greater for optimal performance.

Does this tube affect image quality?

Because the tube contains no optical glass, it does not introduce any distortion or loss of sharpness to your original lens.

Do I need to change my exposure settings?

Typically, no. Since the TTL metering system remains functional, the camera will automatically adjust for the light loss inherent in macro extension.

How does it compare to the EF 12 II?

The EF 25 II provides 25mm of extension compared to the 12mm offered by the EF 12 II, resulting in higher magnification at the same focal length.

Troubleshooting

Camera reports a communication error (Err 01) with the lens.

Ensure the extension tube is securely clicked into place on both the camera body and the lens, and check that the electronic contact pins are clean.

The camera struggles to achieve autofocus.

Macro photography often requires very precise focusing. Switch to manual focus and use your camera's live view magnification to confirm the focus point.

Pros and Cons

  • Retains full auto-exposure and metering functions
  • No glass elements to degrade image quality
  • Compact and lightweight design
  • Compatible with a wide variety of Canon EF and EF-S lenses

Cons

  • Reduces the lens's ability to focus on infinity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To attach the extension tube, first remove your lens from the camera body, mount the EF 25 II to the camera body just as you would a lens, and then attach your lens to the front of the extension tube. The device is fully compatible with all Canon EF, EF-S, and TS-E mount lenses. Since there is no glass, maintenance is minimal; keep the electronic contacts clean with a soft, dry cloth to ensure proper communication between your lens and camera. Always store the tube in a cool, dry place and use the included caps to prevent dust from entering your camera sensor or the rear of your lens during installation.
