     Very nice.  I usually carry a +1 close up (aka auxiliary), an old 7mmm OM 
extension tube, and a Vivitar macro-focusing teleconverter for field closeups. 
Those pretty much cover every situation I encounter.  I did try lens reversing, 
but that was way too much closeup capability for what I was in need of.

     The newer extension tubes generally are 10mm minimum thickness, and those 
are too much to be practical for flowers.  That 7mm OM tube is as thin as I 
have been able to find.
