I\'m looking into getting some more magnification when I buy my new tripod. I will be getting a 055XPROB so will be able to get pretty low to the ground.
The lenses I have at the moment are Sigma 10-20 (doubt I\'ll be using it for macro ), Canon 17-55 IS, Canon 70-200 2.8 IS.
I am concerned with which option gives the highest magnification and retains the best IQ.
Hoya Pro-1 Close-up +3 £45
B+W MRC Close-up +4 £60
Kenko Extension Tubes (12,20,36 or whatever they are). £85
Canon 12mm Extension tube x2 £90
Canon 25mm Extension tube £95
I am not interested in buying a dedicated macro lens as this is would be quite a lot of money.
Which option provides the best combination of value for money, construction (build quality), IQ, AF speed, Convenience?
Thanks
