Just wondering what kind of results you guys have gotten using a 1.4 & 2x extender on the 100 2.8L macro?
Thanks!
Thanks!

of course you loose infinity focus but thats not an issue when shooting macro anyway otherwise kenko TC will fit straight on

The Canon extenders are compatible with L-series prime lenses of 135mm and longer, i.e. not compatible with the 100L Macro.

Compatible with any lens, rule is tube length / focal length gives the added magnification factor (i.e. extension tubes are more effective with shorter focal lengths, a 25mm tube with the 100mm lens adds 0.25x).

Have you used any of the extension tubes by themselves with the 100L? What happens when you mix the tube and the TC?
