I ordered some extension tubes for macro work, to replace the finicky reversed-lens method, and they happened to arrive on a day we had freezing fog. I couldn't resist having a play out in the cold with them and I must say I'm impressed with their ease of use compared to the reversed lens, (for reference see the woodlouse picture below) although I think there is more chromatic aberration. More experiments are needed but I'm pleased with these shots as a starting point.
