Glad that I could help.
There are two basic formulas that can help with macro work. You probably
know them but if not - the first is that when you put a lens on
extension the magnification equals the extension divided by the lens's
focal length. So a 100mm lens on 200mm of extension = 2x

Maybe not quite the steal it would be iif AF, but a lot faster than my 18-250,
probably sharper too, and more versatile than my 200/2.8. It also looks and
feels brand new.
No, you didn't say it was AF. Now that I review the thread I see that I misread
a post by Igor which made me misaprehend the situation.
So I don't envy you autofocus. However my lens is a completely manual lens, so
I envy you the A position on the aperture dial.
