Another example Tannin, what I like is the better close focusing you get. I used for next next test the 21mm Ext tube on my 80-400mm lens F8 and the on top flash on my 30D. The closest you can focus is 9ft. But with the 21mm tube I could focus down to 3ft at 400mm. The first photo was taken from a 3ft away from the grasses I did have to move my body slightly until I could hear the af wanting to focus. The second photo is a 100% crop. I have done nothing to the photos apart from the conversion and the crop, no sharpening.
