Also see the Lenny Lipton bible for a very easy to use mathematical formula for changing your fStop.
Glad to see someone is still interested in this very analog stuff.

that's pretty weird to see, BTW, your thumb projected 30feet wide.)

Ryan,
There are various sets of extension tubes for sale at Chambless, and they're reasonably inexpensive. They do allow you to focus right up on something, so that the edge of a quarter (for ex.) fills the frame. They're pretty great fun. One word of caution: make sure to adjust your exposure to compensate for the extension tubes. They take a big bite. Here's one place where you can find an explanation of the exposure compensation you'll need to do:

Good luck!Roger

I've never used them, but understanding is that when using extension tubes on a lens you can focus the lens in more closely?
thanks
