I'm assuming this is a lens with some other mount other than EOS and that you're using an adapter to match it to the front of your extension tube. If so, you need to get an extension tube for that mount and fit it between the adapter and lens and not use the EOS extension tubes. The switch you're

Buy a spare original hood and cut it down to the size you want, or cut down one of the rubber ones. And I suppose we could argue that technically, the hood doesn't change the working distance, it just fills part of it. :) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL
