Thinking if getting either the Tamron 90 or Sigma 105 macro lens. Will Kenko
extension tubes work with these?

Thanks,

Gordon

I use the Sigma 105mm f/2.8 macro lens with my Canon 300D. Is that
the lens that you considering? The combination works fine and
produces some very nice pictures (well technically it does, I need
some work on the artistic side). I don't have any extension tubes so
I cannot answer your question but I was wondering why you wanted to
use them on a macro lens. How close do you want to get?
