The problem raised by many independent extension of the tube I can not confirm with my lens. The tube wobbles very easily in the case, but that's not a problem when wearing or holding it vertically.
I highly recommend this, but rather favorable original lens, recommend it to anyone who likes may have a little more leeway in terms of focal length and do not want to spend much money / can. For landscape photography (which I prefer for now) it is not very appropriate, however, because of the crop factor of APS-C cameras. But, there are anyway the ultra wide-angle lenses.
Strong buy recommendation!

Meanwhile I use this lens to an elderly EOS 5D. And I must say, I am even more pleased as before! The autofocus is faster and more accurate as at the 600D. As you can see the EF lenses are just best to use full-frame cameras.
Incidentally, my tube rides still not made independently. Not that I would wait for it or would like to see. But with all what you can read I seem to get lucky with my 28-135mm lens.
Therefore still strong buy recommendation (especially for full owner)!
