Lightweight, keeps the existing focus range of your lens

Something often missed is that the extenders also work with the TS-E 90mm Tilt-Shift Lens. This is already a close focusing prime lens, and very sharp. With a Extender, you get more magnification so that it can double as a Macro lens, and the tilt mechanism helps you take macro shots that are in focus over a greater depth for those cases where you cannot physically put the axis of your lens perpendicular to the object.

I bought mine for $50, and paid Sigma $75 to re-chip and clean it. It worked great with my 40D after that.
I found that 105mm was not really the best focal length for my usage at the time (too long), so I sold it to some lucky person.
