[QUOTE="PhilinYuma, post: 93798, member: 2509"] If you used this setup for yr ghost pix, the results speak for themselves. Very nice! There are a couple of problems, though. ABbuggin's lens, if it's like my daughter's, is 4 stops slower than yours, so there is a danger of getting inconveniently long exposure times with tubes unless you use flash, and that introduces a new set of problems. Also, putting tubes on and taking them off again, can be a pain, unless you are much more patient than I. From a photgraphic point of view, though, tubes and bellows have a huge advantage over adding a closeup lens to your existing one or even buying a dedicated macro lens in that no extra glass, and no extra distortion is added. I always used them myself, but that was because I was poor! [/QUOTE]
