Macros: Close up filters vs Extension tubes?
#17

I have some older manual macro tubes and they were okay but I bought a set of auto extension tubes and they are much better. They cost about a third of what a Tamron 90mm was going to cost and seem to be very good value, I have a set of close up filters but have never been happy with the results.

I now have a Sigma 70-300mm DG APO Macro Super II but have had very little opportunity to play. With a macro lens this big though a tripod is a must. It does let you get shots from a long way out though.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm
not sure about the former.
