Back to testing things again... received my second set of tubes today so of course I had to try 2 full sets of tubes.

So these aren't pieces of work just me playing around to see what 2 tubes give me... the result was 3.22:1 Magnification on Tamron 90mm and a bit more working distance than the raynox 202 even without the 1.4x teleconverter.

1. Was trying to shot the front door spiders but they weren't around but this little fella was sat quietly on our house number sign. Only shot I pulled off before he flew off cause of ring flash modelling light so not great focus. No Crop

2. One of the front door spiders babies :D only a few mill or so big slight crop.

Well someone has been busy haven't they:D

Firstly you have bokeh so that has made my day, you can't beat a bit of lovely bokeh:banana:

I've never really seen what tubes look like so having 2 sets on, does that make a pretty huge set up?

Even though i hate spiders that spider baby is kinda cute and love the snail:)

Oh and.. Great set of pics, 2x tubes, wow. Keep it up.
 
Thanks all for your comments appreciated as ever and I love the fact you like my test shots gives me hope for when I take this "bad boy" out for a proper spin.

Snail is my personal favourite too... though I liked the moth
 
Dare I say... Ooo thats a long one..

It doesnt look too bad to handle, so you going to get this dialed then go for three..? ;)
 
I like the snail shot too. I bet you need longs arms to hold on to this setup Bryn :)

1 set from SRB photographic and 1 set Kenko from Digital Rev... and yes you need to invest Matt ;)

My advice is don't go cheap....! The set I got cheap were nasty very nasty. Look for a set that is at least 250g or there abouts. :D
