Extension tubes vs. dedicated macro lens...

I haven't used extension tubes in a long time but I do have a dedicated macro. I love the convenience of it. Just mount it and shoot.

Thomas Shahan uses an old cheap reverse mounted 28mm stacked on a 2X converter.... He seems to do ok: http://www.thomasshahan.com/photos/

Here's his setup (read the description, the photo includes a bellows which he very rarely uses): Macrophotography Setup | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

the 28mm tak might be cheap, but it's not a crap lens, either.
