Picked up my extension tubes today, well pleased with them.
I can see that they will open up a new area of photography for me, one that I think I'm going to love!
These were done with my kit lens (18-105) which had to be at the big end before I could focus, so I lost f3.5.
I'm in the process of saving for a 50mm f1.8 prime, so once that goes on the tubes I suspect things will be better/ easier.
I'm not looking for C&C on these, just wanted to share through shear excitement - I'm like a young boy at Christmas!
But, if you have any tips on using tubes I'd be happy to hear them.
