I love both the 'rock' & the pencil - the others aren't quite as interesting but are still very well done.

Very nice, and another vote for the pencil.

What I've done is mount the 50 on the camera, then reverse-coupled the 24 to the 50. Initially, I used gaffing tape but have since spent the $6 and got a thread coupler.

I generally prefer a 50mm reversed on something a bit longer - my 100mm or 90mm macros work well, and give similar magnifictaion to your combination but sometimes I'll try longer still... I definitely think the coupler is worth the money - a very small extra to keep in your bag for when you want just that little bit more magnification.

Nice set, macro is fun! I got a set of tubes and a Raynox 250 for Christmas, haven't done much with them yet, just goofed around when the Christmas tree was still up. Looking forward to some insect shots this summer, and want to learn focus stacking.

Thank you.

I have a lot of practice before anything will be to my liking.
