If you are thinking about trying legacy lenses, you can do worse than the Yashinon DX 50mm. Most of them come with the M42 mount, which means mounts are easy to find. If using with something like a Canon DSLR, check for mirror issues. No such issues with mirrorless cameras like the Sony NEX, Samsung, Fuji,and Micro 4/3's cameras. The 1.7 should go for under $50, the 1.4 will cost more.

4. Thanks. I have some auto extension tube coming so

I can utilize my AF lenses.

5. I have briefly tried

tubes, but haven't really put the time into using them to learn how to use them properly.

6. Start off with just the shortest, and go from there. I use mine with

my 50mm lenses, the Industar 50-2 and the Yashinon DX. When I take the Yashinon out, I have adaptors on both ends so I can switch from Macro to standard view on the fly.

7. Thank You!

I will do so, when we get past all this holiday stuff and the world returns to whatever normal it does at the time.

8. You will find you will move the camera instead of the focus ring.
