Thinking of getting a canon extension tube to use with the 100 2.8....is it worth it? Does anyone here use extension tubes on there 100?
Thanks

Since I am at posting (and found the way to do it), I might as well do a bit more...

Spider Orchid. While the day ended up being windy, meaning the orchids danced across my view finder (not helpful for 1/2 sec exposures) I managed to freeze an orchid with the fill flash, while retaining that blur

I use the Kenko set and hace found the 68mm useful at times, but can be awkward to use. I've used them on both the 100mm macro (non-L), where magnification is approaching 2x and the 135 f/2, where it is approaching 1x. Shooting near macro at f/2 brings a whole new artistic world to life, as does using extension tubes on the 24-105 at the wide end.Northstar said:

Northstar,
It is entirely possible to have all three Kenko tube installed between your camera and the 100L. I did that. However, it is really necessary to have a very stable support on the system, the minutest movement is going to blur the image.
The image I tried with this setup showed even the scales on a butterfly wing. Though the distance to the object you're photographing is only a few inches, a live butterfly would not stay for you to shoot it, photographically. Mine was a road kill.

PS., the image was not cropped.

Its not a macro, but is taken with my 100L and seems to fit here as well as anywhere. They were on our kitchen counter, the light wasn't the best, and I let the camera set the aperture to f/3.2 - f/4 when f/8 would have had more depth of field. I'm not going to redo them I cropped them, but did not try to correct color balance, so there is very minimal processing if any.
Its the end of the growing season, my little raised garden will likely be frozen out this weekend, so I shot a couple photos of some of the last vegetables.
The tomatoes are a Heirloom Variety (Cherokee Purple), the first that I've ever grown. They are sweet and have a wonderful flavor. Really no comparison for eating quality to the perfect equal sized tomatoes that are great on looks. I used a couple of them to make a pot of chili today, but mostly I just slice and eat them. They are dead ripe when they just have the green shoulders showing at the top.
As for Zucchini... I have one plant, and it is taking over the world
And ... what would a cold rainy fall day be without hot chocolate chip cookies.
