fab set alf, all good shots with plenty of detail, maybe lucky you didn't have the flash for the leafcutter, the wall may have bounced back a lot of light?

Thanks Carl
The Flash works fine in situations like the leaf cutter

Love the low key on the last fly shot.

Excellent detail from a massive crop in #1.

Recommend a raynox over tubes especially of using flash.

Nice set Alf- I too like the low key fly, get a Raynox 250, cheap enough and very good

+1 from me for the Raynox

So raynox over tubes on my sigma 105

i would, simply because you wont be losing as much light as the tubes (I think you lose one or two stops of light with tubes), whereas the raynox just works from your lens and no loss of light
