Does anyone else use extension tubes? I find them to be one of my best purchases in enabling me to extend my 1:1 max macro lens, and also to reduce focusing distance when using my 70-300mm lens.

Produced subject slightly greater than actual size

I have recently bought a set of extension tubes for my Canon 600D, but haven't used them yet. After seeing your photos I think I will be using them soon
