Default Extension tube set for 300D?

There is only ONE possible problem, and that could only be with that

it's possible there's an issue with this unusual lens.


An EF-S mount lens will not mate with an EF mount. It's to stop people
putting an EF-S lens on a standard EF body and shaving a bit off the back of
the lens when the mirror flips up - or possibly off its mounts, or both :-(

I have heard of people performing surgery on the 18-55 to both make it fit
the mount and not remove the mirror, although that was only on digital EOS
bodies (10D, D60, D30) which have a smaller mirror than film bodies. Dunno
if anyone has tried it for a 1D, 1DS or a film body.
