Google "Canon extension tubes". Canon probably makes some, and I know Kenko makes them in Canon mount. If it was a Pentax, I'd suggest looking for a Bellows A ... which might even work with Canon, since I think there's some kind of adapter that allows K-mount lenses to be used with Canon's EOS bayonet. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
