Macros and Close-ups
If don't have a macros lens,
Another way to get extension is to use a teleconverter. Teleconverters come in different sizes, the most common being 1.4x, and 2x. They are more expensive than tubes because they have optics, but they are more versatile. Besides being useful for close-up work, a 1.4x converter turns a 200mm telephoto lens into a 280mm lens, and a 2x converter makes it a 400mm lens. A full stop for a 1.4x and two stops for a 2x. So an f/4 200mm lens
becomes a f/5.6 280mm lens with a 1.4x converter attached.
Macro lenses have built-in extension that will let you take close-ups up to lifesize (1:1 or 1x) without any extra accessories. These lenses are more expensive that normal lenses, though, Useless if you not a heavy user for macros photographer, Just get a teleconverter
I use a 105mm macro sigma.
Taking marco shot alway use a tripod and a flesh
A flower was taken with a macro lens
Aperture size F 2.8 mode was set on (AV) with flash ISO 400
