What is the working distance of that contraption, and what implications does the lens's barrel distorsion have for close-ups of human subjects?

and why do you keep posting this dribble?

the 60 you recommended, once you said the 100 was too long, doesn't have IS, only works on crop, requires a ss of 1/100 or faster to hand hold, is slower to focus, has light fall off wide open, and not the best in class bokeh, and gets lower MPix scores on high Mpxl crop as shown at dxo - it's lost its luster on high mpxl crop.   Have you ever owned one?  Yet you are recommending something you haven't owned?

The tubes to the 35 are an adjunct that can be used to shoot feet, hands, etc without buying an extra macro.

what is so hard to understand about that?

I'm done interacting with you btw -- bye
