Why dead bugs??

It's hard to convince the live bugs to smile.

They're tastier.

Pffft just get up early in the morning and find some cold bugs - they'll be nice and slow to take pics of

Thats not a bad idea, OR.

dead bugs are easier to lock focus upon

Buy some air duster, then freeze them!

Just got back from morning frozen bug hunting. Didn't see any bugs at all.

Frozen bug hunting! Is this a sport and who's more frozen?

Extension tubes for less than 10 bucks on ebay. With electrical contacts they are more expensive. 50 - 60 bucks. extension tubes | eBay

$10 extension tubes? Where?! I thought they were more like $150... I have a Nikon 50mm f/1.8G - does anybody have any experience with extension tubes on this lens?

Amazon has fotodiox extension tubes. $10 but you lose the contacts so there is no autofocus or anything. But for $10 I can manually focus lol

No auto focus isn't the problem - its the no aperture control of the lens that makes things really tricky with cheap extension tubes
