Can anybody tell me what this lens is like with extension tubes fitted. I have found this lens not very good at close up work and was wondering if the performance of this lens improves with tubes on

I agree. And extension tubes won't make it one. For what it's worth, I LOVE the Canon 100mm macro lens. And, for the quality it provides, it's a bargain. No-Excuses Kit: 1Ds Mk III, 1D Mk IV, 60D (IR Only). Lenses (all Canon): 16-35m f/2.8 L, 24-70mm f/2.8 L, 24-105mm f/4.0 L IS, 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS, 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS, 85 mm f/1.2 L MkII, 100mm f/2.8 macro, MP-E 65mm f/2.8 macro, 15mm f/2.8 fisheye. Support : Gitzo 3541L + RRS BH-55 LR Ballhead.

DreDaze happy with myself for not saying anything stupid  More info | Aug 21, 2008 15:43 | #4 tedBalog wrote in post #6152835 with an MFD of 46" it's not a macro lens. that's what the tubes are for..to decrease the minimum focus distance...i'm sure you can get some really good shots with a full set of kenkos on it...here's a link to some shots with a 7-200 2.8 with tubes https://photography-on-the.net …?t=537294&highlight=tubes Andre or Dre
