Well I thought I'd purchase another set of tubes cause I'm mad, but this time thought I'd go cheap. So I bought a set that looked identical to my first set but was quarter of the price. So thought what the hay give it a go if they are rubbish just use them for 50mm small lens.
So when they arrived I noticed instantly how flimsy they were and not tight fitting at all compare to my first set.

Look nearly identical.
On left original ones £89 from SRB Photographic and weigh in at 264g.
On the right £26 from amazon and weigh a tiny 143g.
The only difference in outside looks is cheap ones have less bumps and more spread apart.
The plan was to put both sets on my 90mm Tamron but not going to risk it with how unsturdy the cheap ones are. So will have to wait for my Kenko's from Digital Rev.
The cheap ones will be fine for small lenses for sure.
