Macro Photography with Macro Extension Tube Set

Continuing my exploration on Macro Photography, I tried the Macro Extension Tube Set that I have. It is very simple and dirt-cheap, because there is no AF confirmation available on it. Coming in five sections, it allows us to play the combination to varying length: 12mm, 20mm, 36mm, or any combination between them. Using Macro Extension Tube Set, the distance between the object and the lens is much more flexible rather than using Body-to-Male (B2M) Adapter and Reversed Lens.

By placing the extension tube between my EOS 40D and its kit lens EF-S 18-55mm IS, I took some pictures of coins, bank notes, a pen, and an xD card. My tripod helped me a lot to get sharp and blur-free results. Actually, it was still not easy for me to get good pictures of tiny things, especially in manual focusing part. I think it will be more comfortable and easier if we have Macro Extension Tube with AF Confirmation. :)

Below are sample pictures which are not bad to share (no cropping):
