The Canon EF12-II and EF25-II should work with EF-S lenses. The original
EF12 and EF25 will not. However they are way too expensive here ($149 and
$249 respectively). The cost of the two of them would be much better put
toward an actual macro lens. The diopter filters will work good enough in
the mean time for me.
Considering that the tubes do not have any optical elemements, moving parts
or active electronics, I think the price is outrageous. I bought my Canon
EF50mm f1:1.8 II lens for a little over $100 and it has lenses, motors,
autofocus etc.
