Hi all,
I picked up some cheap tubes (£5 or some such from ebay - I know not the best by far but I wanted to experiment before getting something meatier).
Now this is the image I get without tubes:
In case you're wondering its a pomegranate seed.
I then attach my smallest tube "1" and get this:
Then with all three:
The problem I have was the distance I had to get (using my EFS 18-55mm - haven't tried any other lenses yet)
I had a bash and read all sorts of things about stepping forward and back to get focus and so on, but the only place I could focus was 2cms away or so!
Any ideas where I'm going wrong or will I have to drug any insects I want to shoot
