Another follow up. I’ve found some other examples of the same modal extension rings for sale online. The description for those all say NOT FOR EF-S LENSES.

Follow up. Here https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3055040 I found.

"being fouled by the instepped element in the tube". Not sure what that is? What I can say though, the depth of the internal extension face where the extension and lens meet is about 2mm shallow for the efs lenes. Oh well, Kenko extension tube set [used] for £20 - perhaps that's to be expected...

Whether the clip on extension tubes is forward or pulled back, Turnig the lens in the front of the extension, at no point does the lens slip in. It's if the extension diameter is too small. I would say there's always a 2mm gap between the two. Correction. The lens does slip in a little, but...

Just bought a set of these tubes, described as "Set of 3 kenko Canon EF extension tubes 12mm 20mm 36mm For Digital SLR". Can't get any of my EF-S lenses to fit on them. Are these tubes actually meant for Canon EF Digital SLRs? Have they been misdescribed or have made a cock-up and bought the...

Thanks for all the replys.

Thanks for the reply @john.maretts. Solved! I wasn't turning the lens fully home on the adapter. It's a tight fit, rather awkward and a bit scarry the force needed to turn it fully home. Hopefully won't be too long for me to work out how to configure the 200D into OM4 'simulation mode'.

Introductory preamble. I have just got myself a Canon 200D DSLR. The last (apart from a cheap & cheerful digtal camera I got in Lidl's about 12 years ago) camera I had was a Olympus OM4, which I had substantial kit for, mostly stuff for macro photograhy. Haven't keept up with developments in...
