Hi Ken, I haven't played with the two tubes that I bought 2nd hand all that much yet. When the local photo club had a flower workshop a while back I mucked around a little with them and some off-camera flash to come up with this shot of a Gerbera: http://www.timmunro.com.au/images/GeneralPhotos/flower_macro.jpg I've been meaning to do more but haven't found the time yet. That was done with the 28-70/2.8 and I want to have a go with the 70-200/2.8IS next. What I did find is that it very much a manual focus type activity and the depth of field is paramount. I can see why focussing rails are so important in macro work now.
