Specifically with the MC series from Nikon..Here is an example of my results with the MC 50 lens first and then with the MC50 + 36mm of extension...[ATTACH=full]428326[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]428327[/ATTACH]I was holding the camera by hand, so the image is not perfect but in the second picture the lens is touching the screen, So I couldn't get any closer...What I was trying to understand is: If I did the same exercise with say the MC 105 + the 36mm extension, would have the subject in the picture been even larger, while still touching the screen, or simply impossible for me to get close enough to focus on the subject, as with the MC50, I'm already touching the screen..I'm just trying to achieve the best macro with the largest displayed subjectAs I don't have the MC105, to try this out, so I'm asking before making what it could be an unnecessary purchase...I hope my question make sense...</blockquote>
