Thats the reason I am saving for a Macro lens, using extention tubes I get a bit twitchy when approaching creepy crawlies in this country. Especially when your looking at this magnified spider through the viewfinder and it moves!

Great pics Don

A macro lens won't move you any further away. All it does is focus closer without having to use extension tubes.

Unless, of course, you go for a 200mm. The Pentax A and FA 200mm macros are highly regarded. But not overly cheap.

Perhaps best to go for the Sigma 180mm.
