[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 297899, member: 3903"] One thing you must not forget is that extension tubes will rob you of a few f-stops. The longer the extension tube, the more light you will loose. Macro lenses are built specially to have a flat field and have virtually no distortion. I think that a macro lens is much better than extension tubes, but when the macro lens is not enough, I sometimes use extension tubes with the macro lens. [/QUOTE]
