Someone gave me a set of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/MACRO-EXTENSION-TUBES-CANON-Camera-black/dp/B001CWZE6A

But I have know idea how to use them can anyone link me to some sort of help with these? Or better still simple explain their use?

Playing around I note if the 18-55mm is fitted with these then I can see very little. Swapping to the 55-250 I am getting superb close ups. But really need some info on these things.

Figured it out. Not sure they are a useful addition though.

I have a 25mm Canon extension tube which allows AF to still work. It's quite useful and even quite nicely with my 200-400mm lens which is handy for butterflies and dragonflies etc.

I have been looking at one of those and seem reasonably priced so may get myself one.

Thanks.

Not Canon no as they do tend to be over priced. But as you say there are plenty of aftermarket choices to be had.
