Hi guys,

I've finally gotten both and just want to know if theres any particular combination I should be using these in with my Canon 100mm f/2.8 macro. I know them being kenko, they should work in pretty much any combination... but is there any possibility that using them in a certain combination will yield better results than normal?

Cheers,

I've not found much difference mounting tubes in any order but did see a report that they should be used in size order with the smallest one nearest the camera body (supposedly helped with the electrical contacting). Think the main point is when mounting them twist until they click and then rotate slightly back again- seems to help.
When using a TC with ext tubes you normally mount the TC first on the camera body- that gives you max magnification.
