I haven't seen any shed. This is my first time seeing one in almost 8 years They aren't a common sight here, and its getting harder and harder to find them. They're being replaced by Isopod killers, and Golden Orb weavers...them becoming more and more common. I'm hoping to find one cruising a leaf or something so I can get some better, closer shots with my ringflash at max focal distance

Yep, I use the Sigma 50mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro. No tubes right now, but I have been thinking about adding some. The only thing with that is I'll need to pick up a lens with an aperature ring on it, as this one, you can't control aperature manually.

your talking about a bellows..with tubes a full set of kenko tubes which will give u 2:1 life and your still have full control of your aperture on the body. this way your still have full TTL mode on the flash..i never liked the bellows when i was using it..sinse buying mpe-65 i never looked back.

Ah alright. We must use different terminology or something from different areas Any idea on where I could pick them up? The place I normally order my equipment from doesn't carry them.
