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

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!!!

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.

Wow those are awesome!

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

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

Nice pics! I would lock your doors, as you may find that your camera and some of those corals somehow disappear.
