hi,

Looking for Macro Extension tubes for Canon 60D to couple with 18-55mm kit lens.
whether is it worth or ok to buy from the ebay link.

Purpose - cheap way to do Macro Photography
Auto focus is not a concern.

Also let me know your suggestion or recommendations on this.

Why are you getting it from a HK seller when you can get it at almost same price from Indian Seller. ?

I have cheap Extension tube bought from ebay. It works, but quality is poor. It feels very cheap, mount is not accurate and properly aligned.
I tried to attach extension tube to a lens reversal ring and somehow it got stuck, and has been stuck since then. I guess I am lucky that it didn't get stuck to camera body or the lens. You have been warned.

Tubes are stuck on 'Lens reversal ring' not the lens, I was quite lucky it was not the lens. It's a cheap extension tube that you get on ebay, like this one :Extension tube ring adapter Canon EOS CAMERA BODY LENS | eBay as posted above.

Manual extension tubes are easily available in india also...

However, one query.. which lens are you planning to use with it??
With no electronic contacts in cheap manual tubes you wont be able Change aperture if using new lenses which lacks aperture ring..
Thus you will always need to work with widest aperture of that lens (if no aperture ring is there)

Planning to use it on 18-55mm lens. So how much would extension tubes with rings cost.. I could there were many brands at various prices.. I could spent a maximum of 2.5k.
