      Thank you! Sure, it's a Canon 18-55mm lens that I fix on to extension tubes (total of 49mm). Posted 9 years ago

    Fantastic, thank you for the reply. I thought it might have been as that was the same set up I used to use. Don't get me wrong, I love the 60mm canon macro lens I currently use but you just can't get as much magnification as this with it. I suppose the trade off is that you don't need to be 2cm away from your subject to be able to focus ;) Posted 9 years ago

      Yes, that'c definitely true. It has however improved my stealth considerably! :p
      These extension tubes were actually much cheaper than some of the very good quality macro lenses and that's why my dad bought them for me since I was just showing an interest in photography when I was small :)       Posted 9 years ago
