I have used 1.4tc but only messing around indoors. A x2 tc will increase magnification to 10:1 without affecting working distance. You will suffer light loss in viewfinder and image quality wont be the best but very usable with good tc.

what a great pic looks like something that would be in a science book. those dust specs could be taken out with photoshop in just a few minutes easily.

Like it. Great detail.

Out of interest what did you use to diffuse the flash?
