    Extension tubes are a good, cheap way to increase a lens’ magnification. A macro lens magnifies, a zoom lens does not (well, not most).

    I bought one similar to this. It screws on to the end of the lens. Does ok but not great.

    These ones work by pushing the lens away from the sensor rather than magnifying the image externally. A 1:1 magnification ratio is a considered true macro and with extension tubes you can get close that. Example - this picture is from my 24-105mm (at 66mm) with a 26mm extension tube with changes the lens magnification from .31x to .81x.

    you can’t be thinkin about nothing else here other than fighting, you learn to be comfortable in uncomfortable situations, you train your fight instinct to not panic

    and when we’re all done strangling n threatening to break or dislocate limbs we’re family and it doesn’t really matter that someone cut you out in traffic earlier that day

    Stress relief 101. I love to go shooting after work. When it's not -1000° outside. And not too windy. Or raining. Low humidity. Medium sunlight. Not too hot either. And I'm not too tired. :anonymous:
