Extension Rings

[DBF]

I am interested to buy the HC120/II Lens or the 3 Extension - Rings (H52, H26 and H13)
How much Image-Quality will I loose with the E-Rings against the 120 Lens.

I have 28, 50, 100 Lens (and 150, 300) , the 1,7 Converter and H3DII50.

I don´t care for the Price of one more Lens, but the Weight - I only make Photos on Holidays and I have to carry all on my Back!

I use the rings all the time, and find no image degradation...afterall they have no glass in them.

The 120mm is the best lens ever.
I shoot a lot of food with it, drinks and liquids, but have also done some amazing portraits using f5.6.
Focus is hard and you end up losing a few shots, but the results are incredible.
When my carry on lugagge is a problem, I take the 80 and the 52 ext tube instead.
Cheers,
Mauro
