Canon 9198A001

Overview

The Canon 9198A001 is an EF 12 II extension tube designed to fit between your EOS camera body and compatible lenses, allowing you to focus much closer than usual. By adding 12 mm of spacing, it effectively transforms standard lenses into tools for detailed close-up and macro photography. This extension tube maintains full electronic communication between the camera and lens, ensuring autofocus and exposure metering continue to function seamlessly.

Key features

• 12 mm extension that reduces the minimum focusing distance for capturing fine details up close
• Maintains autofocus and exposure metering through eight electronic contact points, so shooting remains intuitive
• Compatible with a wide range of EF, EF-S, and TS-E lenses, offering versatility across many focal lengths
• Compact and lightweight design makes it easy to carry and integrate into your photography kit
• Ideal for macro photography of small subjects like flowers, insects, jewelry, and textured materials
• Enables tighter framing for portrait details or product shots without heavy cropping

Compatibility and practical use

This extension tube works well with most Canon EF and EF-S lenses, as well as TS-E tilt-shift lenses, making it a flexible addition for photographers who want to explore macro and close-up photography without investing in dedicated macro lenses. It is especially useful for those who want to capture intricate details in nature, product photography, or portrait close-ups. However, it is important to note that it does not support certain specialized lenses like the 15 mm fisheye or the MP-E 65 mm macro lens.

Portability and convenience

The EF 12 II’s compact and lightweight construction means it fits easily into camera bags and can be carried on trips or studio sessions without adding bulk. Its purely mechanical extension preserves image quality while shortening the focusing distance, allowing photographers to quickly switch between normal and close-up shooting without changing lenses. This makes it a practical tool for photographers who want to capture small subjects spontaneously or in controlled environments.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
