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 :D

You're absolutely right! It's usually easier to leave the lens focus alone and rock backwards and forwards. :D 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.
