Funnily-enough, a good friend of mine just gave me a set of both Canon EF12 and EF25 extension tubes for Christmas. They're not the II's unfortunately, so I gather that they won't allow autofocus, but I use a Nikon 105 micro anyway. I'd like to try with the Canon lenses I have as well.
Great stuff - and merry XMas!

Hi Chris
Thank you for your thoughtful comments, I do appreciate them. Although this is just a hobby for my personal enjoyment and relaxation, in recording and processing these amazing creatures, it is nice to have my efforts benchmarked against the kind of publication-purposed work that comes across your desk.
I did pick up the Canon 12mm and 25mm EX II extension tubes from DDP when they were on special, although I haven’t yet put them to good use, but I will!
I hope you have an awesome holiday and wishing you all the best for 2012.
Cheers
Dennis
