ufauxreal Member  192 posts Joined Jan 2009 Location: Connecticut More info | Mar 02, 2010 19:18 | #2266 Thanks for the responses. Since I have a Macro lens, an extension tube is NOT what I want. What I'd like is something to increase the distance of the 250mm at times. What are those called, and can they be used with this lens? MackDaddy1962 wrote in post #9716453  You can use either of Canon's newer series II EF12mm, or EF25mm extension tubes on EF-S lenses.

I was under the impression (probably wrong) that extension tubes/lenses can't be used with EF-S lenses. See my sig for my camera. Hi, I got my extension tube from Dealextreme for $10. It's not AF but it works the same.

sanjeedbd Senior Member 361 posts Likes: 2 Joined Oct 2009 More info | Mar 07, 2010 06:31 | #2276 I own an EF 400mm f/5.6L prime lens as well. It's autofocus is lightning fast and locks on the subject within fractions of seconds. Whereas the 55-250mm has a slow focus system. But it has IS and can capture some shots that are not so easy even for my big gun 400mm.

I'd love to use it for my skiing photography, but I'm not sold on the AF speed just yet.  Notice her collection- three bones and a tennis ball. She's a hoarder:  Finally, they're tired. You know, for the time being (focus point on our black lab's face, which is why the yellow lab is slightly OOF):
