I bought a 25mm extension tube and am frustrated by the rainy weather of late. However, I got these few a couple of days ago.
The misty glow on one is because it was quite cold (Tasmania) and the lens kept fogging, but I liked the effect.
Using this with my standard 18-55 zoom at approx. 40.. is giving better than 1:1 macro. It would be a lot better at 18 except the subject has to be smeared on the front element to reach focus :-)
I wish I had noticed the hairs on the stem of the Oyster mushroom at the time so I could have bought them to a better focus. I will see if they are still there after this spell of rain and try capture it.
I love cameras!! :-)
