<p><img src="http://itravel81.files.wordpress.com/2013/11/img_6624.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="683" /><br> I want to magnify the smallest of smallest bugs. </p> <p>I'm new at macro photography and I find that I derive great joy in magnifying the smallest of smallest bugs. These bugs are so small and they just sit still. I'm not interested in chasing butterflies and fast moving ants. I make all my photos using a tripod and macro focusing rail.</p> <p>I've been shooting all my photos with a Tamron 90mm lens and 3 extension tubes (13mm, 21mm and 31mm) attached to the back of the lens but I still need more magnification. I need more magnification still.</p> <p>Will a 2x teleconverter help my cause?<br> Will a 2x teleconverter eat into DOF?<br> What about a 2-element close focus filter?<br> Would it be ridiculous to use a 2x teleconverter + 3 extension tubes?</p>
