Cool mantis! I know its not the reply you are looking for, but what is it? I would like camera info too. My camera does not take really good closeups. I have a strange male ghost, no creast! And cant get a good closeup of him.

Maybe a stupid question but are these good for out door macro or mostly indoor?

Extension tube allows you get closer focus but it will also reduce the light comes in so most time you need external flash light. you can do this outdoor but most people start with indoor practice, like me just try to get clear background and try to shoot them clear first
