So i decided to have a play and ordered a 12mm extension tube. I then slapped it on my 2x extender and put my 100mm macro on the other end.

Here is the abomination in all it's glory:

The only downside, is it shoots wide open and only has manual focus as you have to block off the signal pins to not throw any errors, but the results are still stunning!

Hello everyone :)

I'm looking at the Tamron Macro lens linked in the original post, and it points me to the Tamron AFF017C700 SP 90mm. It looks like it's around $799 on Amazon, but after searching eBay, I found some for around $200.

Are these the same lens? Sorry, I'm new to this and just want to make sure I purchase the correct one. I recently purchased a Canon EOS Rebel T7.

Thank you!
