how do you like the extension tubes? I'm considering getting some

Sorry for the delay in getting back to your question.
I love the extension tubes! With the right lens these are truely amazing and worth every penny of their fairly cheap price. I think I paid $130 for my set online. The set comes with a 12mm, a 20mm and a 36mm ET. I usually use the 12mm tube and sometimes the 20mm. I find with the 24-70L that the 36mm tube is just too much. I get what I need with the two smaller depths.

Well post up some images using your tubes. I think that others here would love to see the results of such a great and fairly cheap device.
