And compatibility with EF-S lenses. Older model extension tubes (Canon's own and third party) have hard plastic internal baffles that interfere with the extended rear mount of EF-S lenses.

For example, Canon's original Extension Tubes EF 12 and EF 25 cannot mount to EF-S lenses, but the current model EF 12 II and EF 25 II can.

Thanks.  I was assuming 3rd party.
