Basically, I agree, but maybe aim to get an AF set of tubes so that you get the (sometimes debateable!) advantages of "full AF" - more expensive but may be "worth it"
Generally with close up / macro photography you'll be better with manual focus so my tubes are not only cheaper you'll probably not use the AF anyway.

You'll find even a small change in position will change the focus point.

When your ready add a set of extension tubes and you get even closer, fairly cheap as well.

The Cake shot for me as well

I noticed a few odd sort of blotches at the top of the cake image, a couple are also on the teapot image in the same sort of place, does the lens or scanner need a bit of a clean perhaps ?

Nice, sharp little set - The 3rd is particularly good, the backgrounds muted colours work well against the yellow and black of the perfectly focused Hoverfly
Totally agree with Lennybloke

I have to say and I've not had mine very long, I'm very pleased with the results, heavier than my Sigma equivalent, but the results are superb.
