Like suggested by someone before, you can use a TC with the TS lens. Like the affordable Soligor 1.7x TC, which is a nice compromise between an 1.4x TC and a 2x TC. It will not give you the same amount of magnification as an extension tube of course (it will be more like turning your 5D mk II into a 24mp APS-C camera), and it will of course also narrow the field of view.[/quote]
Well, I have the Kenko 1.4X. Great optics (same as the Canon) and full compatibility with all EF lenses.

The Canon TS-E 90mm f2.8 is also an awesome lens.[/quote]
Yes, but it only gets to 1:3.4 by itself. Now, if Canon were to make an Mk II of it...... And BTW, the 24/3.5 II is compatible with a 20mm tube. So much for theory. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' />
