First attempt at macro shots (graphic intense)

[One_Divided]

So I bought a second hand set of extension tubes and a 50mm f1.8 V1 lens and this is what I got!

HOLY Crap man that looks great love the Ric's

Thanks guys! I have Tamron AF teleconverter 2x and a Canon EF25 Extension tube. I haven't tried them both together. The extension tube is dramatic. I could only get pics of things 4-5 inches or nearer to the front of the glass. The Teleconverter was a bit more neutral. I would recommend that first.

pics 5,6,7,8,9 are teleconverter and the rest are extension tube. Both pretty inexpensive. Especially used.

I'd say it looks like a good investment!

Don't really notice much about extension tubes other than what they look like. I notice you said "tubes" plural, do you daisy chain them or is that each one is a specific match to a particular lens?

Now I want to go buy an extension tube for my D70.. Thanks a lot!!!

Kenko extension tubes comes in a set of 12mm 20mm and 36mm
They can be stacked at any combo of them.

The only down side for Canon users with EF-S lenses is that they require a mod in order to fit lenses such as the 17-85.
This is easily accomplished with a knife, dremel, sandpaper etc.

In store they retail for close to $200, but can be found on ebay for 100 new from asia.

Fantastic!

Wow those are awesome!

You can daisy chain extension tubes as they come in various sizes.

Rics especially look bangin'. That sure is cheaper than the 105mm and looks sweet!
