I 've some hope my combo nikkor 300 f4 with extension tube will work as fine as that on butterflys.

EA6B,

Thanks for the excellent tip. I am new to the FM Forums and I just posted a similar help question on the same subject.

Any other tips about using extension tubes (12 and 25mm) with a Tamron 1.4x would be appreciated.

Respectfully,

Creekman

With extreme macros, consider compositing images for increased depth of field. I wrote an article about the technique at:

I make my own diffuser out of Mylar.

Mylar is a strong type of paper used often in the Architectural & Civil Engineering World and it comes in different finishes and different opacity.

I wrap it very similiar the Sunny Delight Design and tape it on. Works great and a lot cheaper.
