I have a Canon EFS 55-250mm IS lens - will this lens work with EF 1.4 or 2.0 Extender?

While Doug James answered this correctly, I did look up this lens on Canon Lenses. Normally, this is an f4 to 5.6 lens and is an EFS lens for C size cameras. For extenders the widest f-stop that is acceptable is f 5.6. So when you are at f 4.0 you might be able to use this but it would be very limited. You might want to try Canon extension tubes for magnification. The 25mm seems to do best with this lens. Remember though that infinity focusing is generally lost with extension tubes.

No, the 1.4 and/or 2.0 extenders are not compatible with the Canon EFS 55-250mm lens.

I am not sure, but I think it should. I suggest that you check out, uglyhedgehog.com This is a great address for photography. I know it doesn't sound like a photography site. You will be surprised. It is the best I've come acrossed. It doesn't cost and you will recieve it daily. It has answers to many photography questions by professional photographers along with some of the most beautiful pictures sent in by people. I hope this will assist you with the correct answer.

I have used it with the extender however it does cut down on the brightness of the photos considerably. Also it increases the shakiness so you wont be using it on a day that is not bright sunny and calm. I have only used it with the 500mm lens and I am unsure if it works with other lenses. I do enjoy playing around with the setup but most times I just use the 500mm without the 2x extender. You will also have to experiment with your cameras settings

I don't know if it will work with the SL1 side of the adapter, it's specific to M. But it's supposed to work for all EF and EFS lenses. Hope that helps.

It fits my EFS 55-250 IS lens. Unless there is a difference in the diameter (whichI don't there is from the IS II lens), it should work.

It fits all EF lenses, but it doesn't work for me. If it does work for anyone, could you please share with others how you accomplished that??

Hi -Yes, this adapter accepted my EF-S lens just fine. Be aware that the mount is really tight on the lens mount. You have to pull the circular knob towards the lens to release it. It took me a few tries to get used to it.

Yes. I use this on the EF-S 55-250mm IS II. I had exactly the same question you did when I ordered this. I figured I would send it back if it was not exactly the right hood, but it was.

Tim, while you are right about the old lenses i.e. pre-EOS, also remember that any full frame canon DSLR such as the 5D or the 1D mark 3 will only use the EF lenses and will not work with the cheap EF-S lenses since the mount is different

Hi Chloe, I just tried the reversing ring on my 18-55 efs lense and it worked. Try to take the large part of the ring and carefully screw it on the front of the lens. then fit the small end on the camera body. Please let me know if that works or not. I hope I have been of some help to you

No the extender works only in manual mode . I found out from Canon that the extender works in automatic mode only with an f2 auto lens. Canon does not reveal this until you get to a supervisor. Beware.

I have used the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS several times in Baja to take pictures of the moon rising over the mountains east of my house. This lense makes the moonlarger and clearer than my 40-200mm. I have tried the 2x extender but did not have my tripod set up when I used the 2x. I used a remote shutter release all the times before that and it gives me clearer photos. hope this helps.

I own all three. Yes, 'Live View' (if that's what you meant by 'Live Mode') works when the three are used together. Keep in mind, your AF will be slower and you will need lots of light. You might also be interested in my inquiry with Canon prior to my purchase. It follows... Thank you for contacting Canon product support regarding the EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM lens. Yes, the EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM will work with both cameras, and the extenders will work with both cameras, but there is a limitation that you do need to be aware of. When using the EF Extender 1.4x III or 2.0x III on most of our EOS cameras, the camera will not be able to autofocus if the new maximum aperture after the extender is smaller than f/5.6. For instance, if you have a lens that has an aperture range of f/4.5-5.6, adding the 1.4x extender changes the maximum aperture by 1 stop, resulting in an aperture range of f/6.3-8.0. Likewise, the 2.0x extender pushes the aperture range up by two stops, to f/9-11. Because of the reduced amount of light entering the camera and larger depth of field due to the reduced aperture, the camera's autofocus system cannot operate. For proper AF operation, you will need a lens with a maximum aperture of f/4 or better with the 1.4x extender and f/2.8 or better for the 2.0x extender. The only exception to these rules is the EOS 1D series and the EOS 5D Mark III, which retains autofocusing from f/5.6 to f/8 at the center point only. Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance with your EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM. Thank you for choosing Canon. Sincerely, Dirk Technical Support Representative

I've used it on my T3i, and I don't think canon would have changed their ef mount standards, so yes it should work. I have not tried it with EF-S lenses but the telltale white dot is on there.

sorry, don't know anything about an EF-S 18-55 mm.... but from my limited experience with my Nikon and Olympus lenses, the critical thing is the size of the lens...58mm vs 62mm vs 72mm....My Canon 500d works on every 58mm and smaller diameter lenses as long as i have an appropriate step-up ring... good luck...If unsure, try it... Amazon has been very good at returns if there was a problem
