Well ups just left my house about 30 min ago :D

I had to see what these things can do ... sooooooo ...

using my tamron 70 - 300 mm / macro f4/5.6 lens i tossed on the tubes and on a tripod and decided that my mouse was the closest thing to nature i have in the house that wouldn't move :p

here is the mouse with the lens at macro

here is 12 mm and 20mm tubes with 300 lens

and here is all 3 tubes 68mm tubes and 300 lens

don't realize how dirty my mouse is until i got in close with it ... will have to do some more experimenting when i have more time .. but i see that i am going to have some fun with these come summer time .... :thumbsup:

Try using your 50mm and see how you do :wink: You will be amazed!

Hey, great set of test images!

Looks like you're off to a great start. Just wait until spring unloads its limitless supply of subjects :)

thanks for the comments ... I plan on trying out the 50mm soon with the tubes ... I couldn't believe how touchy the focus is with these ... found out fast that manual focus is the only way to get it where you want it ..
