Some stuff taken with the extension tubes
These are all a bit rubbish 
. They were all taken with the tubes I finally got! ;D I can see it's going to take a bit of practice, they're not easy to use handheld - though I'm sure there's a technique I'll tap into sooner or later. Didn't help that every time I went outside in search of bugs, it rained >
so there were only one or two tiny flies about. More of that in better weather though 
For now, here's a few:

Quite. The one of the fly where you can see each individual cell of the eye is brilliant.
Rubbish!! My foot. They're very good.

Good start there Zounds, seems you are I have similar interests first the Bigma them the tubes, I have been looking at tubes and TC for a while but not sure if having electronic connection in the tubes is that important, what do you think and which did you decide on.

Thanks all 
I didn't think they were much good, thanks for the encouragement! 
I got the Kenko ones in the end (not even 100% sure which atm) they were S/H from someone, and they do havethe autofocus thing, I'm not sure it's necessary, but it can be useful!

8 and 10 are my favorites......the fly's shadow in number 8 does look uncannily like a bottle. Dare I say it, a blue one, sorry.
