Let me answer it this way. I have the auto extension tube, the bellows and
two sets of extension tubes. I am a sick man! Now, why do I keep the
extension tubes. They tend to be easier to use than the other options. They
are
lighter. They can be used with any lens to allow for closer focusing. Yes,
any
lens, including the big bad boy Tamron long glass. I will often throw the 90mm
f
2.5 Tamron and a set of tubes in the kit for walking around. Yes, I could
carry the auto extension tube and give up the space for another lens, but these
fit in a side pocket of my small case. What happens when you want a little
extension on your 16 or 18mm? I may not have answered your question, however
at
least confused you a little. Bill Barber
