<---interested in this very lense.

I hope you followup with other shots taken with this lense. I think it's next on the list if I don't end up buying a new tri-pod or a flash instead. What camera are you using? I have a Canon 40D so I'm not even sure if extensions are an option for me. You're certainly getting a lot closer with them though.

Canon 40D. Tubes work just fine. I was using MF but if you were very precise the Autofocus was working with the 20mm Tube + EF 2x TC.

Just curious: is the this the old 100mm lens, or the brand new L-series one with IS?

CyberSteak

^ what he asked.

And very cool to hear that this can be done with the 40D. Quite excited about this. Opens up a whole lotta possibilities.

Canon EF 100mm f/2.8. Not L.

the 100 2.8 IS L is not available yet.

the 100 2.8 is an amazing macro lens (haven't used it with tubes) and doubles as an UBER sharp portrait lens.

Excellent photo. I prefer #1 as it's exposed better and focused better. Crazy looking spider...

Jeeze, spiders just keep getting scarier

The first one is great! Looks like the second focused just behind the eyes. With that thing I can't blame you for not sticking around longer!

I missed the focus point a little bit. I noticed when I got back inside. Was my first real shoot and bug after getting the 100mm.
