for some reason they took this lens out of the market recently [ over here ] , just like the 200mm before
dont know why , as its one of the best IMO

could you have just move forward a bit to shoot with lens only?

does it make a lot of difference to minimum focus distance? presume might be good for butts/ dragons in summer

1 no , this is max
ring is set to fullest [ 1:1 ]

2 yes , it does
with TC i can capture a dragon from a good distance [ half a meter to a meter ] [ they dont flee quickly at a distance ]
with tubes i can not capture a dragon at all
a small fly is the biggest i can capture , lens set at infinity

2b lens only ?
can very well
but , i want close up
a TC is a good aid for me , in this
and , it preserves infinity
if , and when , i want to shoot something "big" ,
i just switch off the flash and shoot "normal

hope U understand what i say
