The last of the big bits - Extension tubes!

I've never played with these things before ever - these are the first 3 shots

These two were with the 31mm tube only:





This was with all three.



Focussing is something of a challenge to say the least! I found it easier to move myself than focus the lens, even manually. I'm off work next week, i forsee lots of camera based fun

You're absolutely right! It's usually easier to leave the lens focus alone and rock backwards and forwards. You're obviously getting the hang of it though. :wink:

Have a few beers if you want to rock back & forward, but it won't help your photography.:P

You really need to be using a tripod when using ext. tubes, there is a very fine margin with focus as the magnification is greater.
