Harold, you been very kind with your time, and I appreciate your input
It didn't take much time. What did take a lot of time, over many years, mostly with film, was making all the mistakes you don't need to make.
Find yourself a system/setup which works well for you and use it as much as you can. That way, familiarity will mimimise mistakes and you can concentrate more on your subjects. I used a 90mm macro lens and its dedicated converter for many years. Having tried various other lenses, I am now back with a better lens (this time 105mm) and its dedicated converter (which I use relatively infrequently because of the longer focal length of the lens). In the same way, I used fully manual flash with film for many years and have recently come back to it with macro.
One tip for using teleconverters (TCs): you will see comments about losing light by using a converter. Just open up the lens by one or two stops (x1.4 TC or x2 TC, respectively) to maintain the exposure and DOF.
