    Kenko vs Canon Extension Tubes

    Can anyone tell me, is there any real difference between Kenko and Canon Extension Tubes?

    The main things I see are Kenko come in different sizes to the Canon and cost less...

    Am I missing the obvious or are we really just paying for the brand name?

    It would be interesting to see results/photos or a test carried out side by side.

    It depends which lens or lenses you intend using them with and how often you think you might use the extenders. If you've traded the car in to buy good optics and use extenders often, it makes no sense to risk 'downgrading' them by putting a potentially inferior extender on them for the sake of a small saving.

      There isnt any glass in an extension tube so the image cant be degraded in anyway using either, With the Canon tubes you really are paying for the name and build quality-nothing else, I use Kenko tubes and have never had a problem, The bonus with the kenko yubes apart ftom the price is that you get 3 for half the price of Canons 2

        I too use the Kenko tubes and agree with DC. I have never had any problems and know many other people who also use them.

          So do I, find them very versatile and a must have accessory for the price

            Provided that your tubes still have the contacts for talking to the camera (focussing) then there is no difference between brands, except maybe a bit of build quality. As DCINNC stated, there is no glass in the tubes. It's just a tube! You could use an empty toilet-roll and some gaffer tape and manually focus it.

              Much as I thought, as there is no bearing on the optical quality (extension tube - not Canon Extender!) why pay more... Thanks for the input!

                I got my Kenko set off of eBay from a reseller with high marks in Hong Kong. Saved a lot of money off retail price.
