Tubes are great, I can't justify a macro lens as I know it would sit in the house. Nothing as bad as not using lenses enough!

Plus you can put any lens on them to achieve different bokeh, colour, you can change the magnification.

Mine are Pentax legacy manual ones, cost £12, and work great with a K28 3.5 with Live View.
I'd agree absolutely, I've used my old tubes and de-glassed 2x tc with an m 28mm and a few other manual lenses and have gotten some decent and interesting shots.
Cheers

Cheers Nigel for that very considered reply.
I was really just trying out the tubes after the last lot were shot wide open in spite of my attempts otherwise.
Off camera flash...... are you crazy man
Just trying to get to grips with the ring flash at the minute. Need to get a flash to try it off camera, another thing for the shopping list.
Cheers
Derek

Beautiful, natural, excellent quality shots. Everything that is so often missing from 9/10 wedding photos you see nowadays.

That dance floor one is absolutely gorgeous.
That's exactly what I thought.
Great set, but I love that dance floor shot.
Great shooting.

The OBJECT would stay the same, probably correct as taking a photo of it wont change the object, only your photo would change its perspective.

You seem to have no problem breaking the laws of common sense, and basically seem to have an ingrained disbelief of what your eyes can see.
No one agreed with your statement the first time around, plenty of examples have shown that what you are stating as fact, is as per your thread title, poo poo.
I can't help but think that you already know this, as you haven't taken or posted any examples of the type that were suggested to you.
If you can't be bothered to try it, it's hard to see why we should be either.
Good luck.
