I have 3 of them and I haven't the need to touch them for quite some time. With our current lenses, we can focus so close, I don't see the need for extension tubes. Do you?

I do shoot with them on occasion with the 300mm and the 500mm when I want to get even closer and get a bit more detail. I do also use them with my macro lens

I use them a lot.
I was recently using them for the last month on my 400 5.6 to shorten the MFD.

Bob:

When shooting my hummers, I use a 20mm ET 99% over the last 3-years.

I like to use them for flowers with my 180 and for blind work with my 80-400

Hey Bob. I normally have them with me because I never know when they will help. I have used them with macro lenses, the 400 F5.6L, and the 500 F4L Ver II - with good results ~ Ron

I use them for macro quite often and sometimes for hummingbirds. I find them to be quite useful.
