I have the Kenko extension tubes that I use with my Canon EF 50mm/1.8 (the plastic fantastic).
Very good for a "cheap man's" macro lens. Only drawback is that the tubes decrease the effective aperture, so you either need a tripod, a lot of light, or have to be happy with EXTREMELY shallow depth of field (which sometimes is just right!).
