Mmm tc's work differently from tubes, as tubes have no glass. Using tc's is not something that I am familiar with for macro work.
Cheers

Cheers folks, Its funny the way we see things differently, In the 2nd one, I see an old warrior in a metal helmet and long mustache, stooped over.
Its not unlike the Rorschach tests

Nice shots, love orb weavers and their like. Curious, what benefit do the tubes give you? Better DOF, or shooting from a greater distance? Thanks

Cheers,
The tubes will reduce your available working distance, but increase the magnification.
Macro lens at closest focusing distance can reproduce 1:1 ratio
With tubes you can get greater than that without being at closest focusing distance.
I don't know the reproduction scales, maybe someone on here can chip in.
