BodgetandScarper.com macro shot(s)
Some folks on another forum have been talking about Jessops extension tubes, which you can get for £23 ish atm.
I grabbed some on Sat. Uncropped shot with Canon 100mm and 65mm of tubes.  Same rig up but with a 50mm 1.8 reverse mounted. Again this is uncropped  My bestest Blue Peter rig up    . The final version isn't quite in focus but the merest movement of the paper shims totally screwed the focus. Oh and gaffer taping one lens to another isn't the best way to get maximum image quality

Araldite's a lot better.
Seriously (folks) that's a terrific price for extension tubes - they normally sell for £50 or more - and a great way of achieving good quality macro on the cheap.
