Well im going to check if i can get them throu cc and see if i get the same discount which would make them like 20-40 bucks a piece well depending on the original cost
I have a Nikon D40 with the kit lense. I bought a set of Kenko extension tubes: 12mm, 20mm, & 36mm. If the coral is 4 inches back from the glass the only one that will focus is the 12mm. Is that due to the quality of the kit lense? I want to order the 105mm macro lense. Would that do the same thing?
I'm kinda disappointed with them. In order to get a really good closeup I'd have to move the corals right up to the glass (which is not possible with some of them). I could probably get the same thing I'm getting now with crop and zoom in PP.
H@rry, it is not the tubes that you are disappointed with.
And, for web purposes, you are probably right, you may get the same results with a crop in post processing, but for actual prints, you would notice a HUGE difference.
That macro lens would be an excellent choice, and the tubes will become of much more use.
Oh, just for reference, the coral I used in this example is about 9-10" away form the front glass.
