    Spring Fun with Extension Tubes

    Borrowed a set of extension tubes to see if I wanted a set. Here is what I've ended up with so far. I do think I need a set now.

    Don't you just love them Brian. Love your first efforts. They take a little getting use to, but if your into macro they are the only way to go. Glad you had a good experience with the tubes.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Very nice macros. What lens did you use with the tubes? I'm considering renting a set when our flowers start coming up. Also, where do you live in KY?

    Re: Spring Fun with Extension Tubes

    Thanks everyone.
    Mike, I was using a 50mm f/1.4 for all the shots. Mostly combined with the 12mm kenko extension tube. The last photo in the set was taken with all 3 of the kenko tubes stacked.
    I live in the north eastern part of Ky. Same little town at Old Timer.
    Larry, they do take some getting used to. Was having difficulty keeping stuff in focus. I think I could get used to them though.
