[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 462839, member: 24285"] Wanting to shoot better macro's. I have a 60mm and 105mm macro lens. I'm thinking of buying some extension tubes. I'm leaning towards the Kenko variety (about $150 CDN). On Amazon.ca I see there are several others on offer for about half that around $75-90 (Neewer, Cowboy Studio, Polaroid, etc). There are totally manual ones for less but I think I'd want the auto-exposure capacity. I understand that in the macro world Autofocus isn't all that useful. Any recommendations on these tubes? And lighting. Maybe an LED ring-light. I've been watching [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUVLxbZtEPk[/URL] and it has increased my interest in macro. I have two 4x5" LED's sets that I can use with an attachment that allows me to position the light on either side of the subject, wonder if ring would add that much?
