[QUOTE="sarir97, post: 39928, member: 8326"] OK, an update and a question. The update is that I purchased Kenko extension tubes. I hooked the 36 and 12 mm extensions up to my 50mm lens to get near 1:1 magnification. The first thing I noticed is that the subject has to be almost touching the lens for it to be in focus, which ruins the light and creates shadows. Second, and here comes the question, I can't focus at infinity anymore! Am I missing something, or is this normal behavior? Do dedicated macro lenses behave this way? [/QUOTE]
