There's no difference in quality just one is only a 25mm tube whereas the other is a set of 3 tubes

I routinely get my stuff from HK Supplies in about 7 days (it's in the US within 3). It comes HG postal to US Postal service registered and shows up with your mail in a padded manila envelope. Aside from about 6 HG stamps on the outside you'll see that they check off the shipment as 'Gift' to get it by US customs. They are a reputable seller and shipping time is reasonable.

Then again I see you are in TN so it could take a few extra weeks to make it to the backwoods. Just joking about Tennessee. It's one of the only places in the US where a man and woman can get a divorce and still legally be brother and sister. :)

Good one but I think maybe you're thinking of Alabama. Here in Tn we get alot of half backs.....

Now you're wondering what is a half back? Well...... Thats were a Northener (yankee as we call em) moves further down South say FL and decide that they don't like it and move back North a bit and settle here in TN so we call em half backs as they only made it half way back home. :D

Have a good one now!!!!

Actually, there is a difference in the tubes. The Kenko Uniplus tubes have a small circuit board inside the tube that reports the length of the tube and the f stop correction so that your f satop is correctly reported in the camera's display and in the EXIF data. The tubes in the set of 3 do not have this chip. Since I broke a Kenko extension tube when I dropped it on some rocks (they are made out of "engineering plastic") I have gone back to using Canon OEM tubes. Now, if I drop one of those, it will be dented but will not crack and break. Also, Canon OEM tubes are chipped to display the proper corrected f stop in the viewfinder.
