woo hoo! those jessops extension tubes are finally mine

[andrew748]

a few examples, as there were others asking about extension tubes in general.

the tubes seem to let me get much nearer the subject and have increased the depth of field.

i tried to pick easily identifiable objects to give a idea of scale.

I only have the one lens :)

the 17/85 kit jobby.

the two pic's embedded here were taken with on board flash.

the onboard flash will have trouble clearing the extended lens so i kind of focused manually further up the subject, if that makes sense.

i really want to try and eye shot. I only have a set of tubes as well (no ded. marco yet) but it blows me away with all the creepy looking things inside the eye, lol

lol, yes i'm a bit concerned by the weirdness going on there but wifey assures me that her eyes are fine and she had them tested only last week, so i guess she knows :D

Extension tubes, even Ebay el cheapos, rock. They add even more potential to your outfit for bugger all outlay.

you dont need one that "says" it will work with the XTI, cause i don't think you will find that. As long as its good for Canon EOS cameras you'll be rockin

i use my tubes on my 70-200mm L and it works great
