Invaluable when doing snowflake photography:   Icestar by Alveric, on ipernity Starlet by Alveric, on ipernityI got good results with them on my 5DII as you can see, but on the cropped sensor camera the photos sucked (although your mileage may vary, as there were other factors, like a clear protection filter on the lens, as well as possibly diffraction). Canon also has a couple of extension tubes: EF 12mm and EF 25mm (look for version II of these), and I was originally considering getting these. They're more expensive than Kenko's, though. I'd recommend the Kenko: they have contacts for the ETTL system and have metal mounts. Stay away from ewwBay knock offs, as these might not have pass-through for the ETTL/autofocus and/or have cheap plastic mounts that one day detach and leave you with a viewfinder image of your valuable macro lens lying destroyed on the ground.
