Hey Chris did you notice the piece I recently bought off of you? I really like that piece...

Not bad. I was curious how those cheap filters would work, I ended up getting a set of extension tubes instead which were like $60 and a PITA to deal with so I don't ever end up using them. At least they have contacts so the AF still works, but I am going to have to look into getting a set of these filters now that I know they do something worthwhile. People were trying to get me to buy the Canon filters, like $150 a piece and only one size. I still want that Canon EF 50mm macro lens though.

I love that Duncan. That has to be one of my favorite corals.

Hey tony, that last piece is the purple freak, right?

Waiting for my lights to go out so I can see it under the actinics.

Yes I ordered one tube aswell and been playing with these filters more.... They work.

Maybe not the best but will have to do until I sale a kidney and buy the lens I really want..

Yes it is..... I have him real low right now, will move him and glue him into a spot reserved for him in a few days..

What lens are you using with these? And what kind of working distance are you able to shoot at? And how does that differ from the lens without the filter?

That's one thing about tubes, working distance is uber close.

I am using the standard 18-55mm lens. The kit comes with a 1x,2x,4x,10x magnification so you dont have to be too close, maybe 6-12"......

Nice

Which magnification did you shoot these pics with? I get better macro shots with my POS than I do my DSLR right now.
