Anyone have any input on if these will work on the Canon 50mm F1.4 &amp; the Canon 24-105 F4.0L lenses? I'm looking to get one for each lens.

Yes the 24-105 will work but i have not tried the 50mm. I have also used a follow focus without the gear ring on the 24-105, the ridges on the focus ring met with the follow focus and it worked. Maybe you could try that!

Many thanks for replying. Have just ordered an adapter ( cheaply), as I only wanted the lens to play around with. Lesson learnt ; Hubby cannot buy lenses without me knowing what he's paying out for !!

It worked well with my ef len but seems to cloud my photos with my efs lens. i have noticed many of the extentions say they will not work with efs style lens. good luck, and if it won't work at least Amazon is great about returns.

Go for it. This is an awesome lens. I use this lens along with my EF 70-200 L Series f/2.8 for all my wedding and other event shoots (including portraits, sports etc). But if money is not an object why not get the 50MM lens (along with this) as others have suggested. I am happy with the two lenses (ie EF 24-70 mm and EF 70-200 mm). I've taken thousands of pictures with these two lenses (almost 80% with the 24-70 Lens). Hope this helps.

Hi K. Johnson-I have been mulling over this very same thing.....I have decided on the 24-105 for a 50d. You may find this website helpful: www.the-digital-picture.com Has a nice review of canon lens recommendations which helped me to decide. Good luck!

there needs to be threads where your lens is. If there is they should be marked as to what size they are. If they are 43 or 52mm it will thread on.

Yes, as matter of fact, i used it on my Canon 60 mm macro lens and I got more than 1:1 magnification with the extension, but you will have to manually focus through. I also use them on my 24-105 L, it works for me all on my Canon 60D. you can use any one or more extension tubes as combination with your lens. I hope this answer will help you.

when i used them on my kit lens i needed to zoom in to about 50mm. if you are zoomed all the way out you can kinda see the edges of the bokeh. also i didnt get the exact shape i wanted. i tried the heart one and lights that where out of focus in the center of my view finder looked... ok.. a little less shape than expected. and going away from the center of the frame the shapes get more and more unrecognizable.i believe these really work just for 50mm or larger.

Hardy,Thanks for the info about getting better lenses. I just "bit the bullet" and bought the 24-105mm L lens. I have heard this same wise advice from other photographers, and I am looking forward to getting sharper photos with the new lens, and I will try to get only L lenses from now on. In the end, you truly get what you pay for.

Yes, they should work fine. In fact, the old "E" lenses are easier to manually focus than the newer AF and AF-S lenses.

The extender will not work on a 24-105, generally it only works on lenses that go past 135mm (with some exceptions see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_Extender_EF for a list of compatible lenses).If you put it on a lens with max aperture of F/4 it will change it to f/5.6.

This works with any and all Nikon Lens. The only downside is that it was kinda iffy with some of my lenses. I found one it works GREAT with. It's kinda slow with focusing so if your trying to get something that moves fast, it kinda sucks... So be patient with it. The great thing about amazon is you can get it, and if it doesn't work the way you want it to, you can return it. I ended up liking it enough to keep it. I think it's a good price for a lower end auto focus extension tube.

Not sure I got them for my husband who had a canon 60d. He loves them and has found them to work well and are of oretty good quality. I am ordering the 77mm kit for my dad for Father's Day-he has a Nikon 300. Not sure if they will be compatable with his lens but they worked so well for my husband I figured worth a try for my dad. Hope that helps.

You will need to purchase a adaptation set. I previously had one for other lenses/filters, so it wasn't a problem, but I can see where this might be frustrating if you did not have these.

Yes. They work really well. I have taken several shots with them and they are working great. Here is a website of some of my pictures. The ones with the fall colors are the ones where I used both lenses. You can check it out and let me know if you have any more questions. The people are really good to work with.http://yourshot.nationalgeographic.com/profile/151439/Thanks Ken

I don't own that lense but can tel you that from my experience with another canon EF lense 70 - 200mm f/4l it works including AF.This dubler will not work with any EFS lense from Canon due to protruding internal dust ring which comes past the connector ring in all EFS Lenses. I own Sigma 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 HSM lense which does connect to this doubler but doubler is missing profile for that lense so it can only be used in manual focus mode. Overall it is a very nice doubler especially for the price and size (canon doubler is almost twice the length of this one). Andy

They will work with any AF-S lenses. Although using them with a telephoto lens would kind of defeat the purpose of the lens, which is to allow you to focus on distant objects.
