I have the 105VR but its use in weddings is very small. sniping guests and for makeup/prep shots of the bride. I dont use it often and it sits in my bag a lot. I have a PK11A macro tube but its not enough magnification.
I had the kenko extension tubes but have no idea where the heck I placed them. but not wanting to fork over $150 for the set again. I wanted something inexpensive that will let me do just a few specific pics I need in weddings. Im not a macro guy but I used to shoot years back. it doesnt really interest me today.

this thread @Elliot87 posted caused me to find cheap options without losing IQ. the closeup filters degrade IQ and they are fragile. they are out. so I found a cheap set. $6 or so. shipped. 1month delivery.
got it today.

I did do some shots but damn my sensor is dirty as crap and Im going out so I will post some pics. ill shoot some familiar things so you can sense the magnification of it.
you dont lose IQ but looking in the VF it will get dark because the aperture ring sits at the close aperture youve set. you can keep it open for focus then close it to the aperture you wanted to shoot at just before the click.
its said you will lose light but I have no idea how much. with digital you can simply shoot and then adjust exposure on the fly.
cheers.
