[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 843017, member: 48483"] Clovis beat me to the answer, but yes you want to use extension tubes, not diopters. Instead of bending the light and introducing artifacts, the extension tubes just moves the focal point further in front of the sensor, allowing you to move in closer the the subject and get focus. As long as you are not blocking your own light, you can stack tubes together and get more magnification. And the image will be about as sharp as without the tubes.. Spend a little extra for ones that have the AF couplers and AI pins so you don't have to go to full manual mode. If you need to get crazy magnification, a macro bellows is called for. Although you are forced into full manual mode with these.
