The tube came with a 50mm macro lens. Adding the tube got me a little closer, 2:1. It was fun in the backyard, but focus maxed out around 2 feet so I was pretty much walking around with a very specialized tool. You'll get bugs or flowers with either setup, but its just a nuisance to walk around in the woods and be limited to a 2 foot focus range. You might see a larger animal or plant nearby and you won't be able to focus on it with the tube installed. I don't know how to calculate what your max distance will be with a particular lens and tube, maybe somebody knows.</p></blockquote><p></p>
