I think 100 has a better range with a 25 tube added; closer for smaller bugs and still able to shoot flower groups. 20D ringflash

Nice series. Think #4 is my favourite.

I keep dropping a few hints about extension tubes to the missus. Think they're falling on deaf ears though. :rolleyes:

nice series RM. love them all especially the shield bug and hif shot. do you find it still pretty easy to focus and compose your shot with the tube attached? i notice for me it take a while longer to focus.

The 100mm is a very versatile lens. You can do a lot with it.
Great shots. Shield bug is the best I find it hard not to get light highlights on them.

I tend to preset magnification and move whole camera in and out to achieve focus. 100 on its own certainly can AF quite quickly for a macro but at 1:1 AF cannot be relied on to nail eyes.

Lovely series RM. I normally have 33mm of tubes on my 105mmEx. Only need to remove them for some butterflies and hawker dragonflies.

yep makes sense and the 1.6 crop cameras are definitely more useful with this lens. Larger sensors really need MPE65.
