Fuji Extension Tubes vs Macro Lenses (fuji MCEX, compatibility)

I dont have any macro capable lenses in my lineup, but I would like to give it a shot. But instead spending hundreds of dollars for a capable lens, I thought might give the extension tubes a go. They are said to work with any fuji lens, but I couldnt find much information on the ones in my lineup yet.

What about third party lenses with a fuji mount? anybody tested some?

I only got:

- 18-55

- 35 f2

- samyang/walimex 12mm f2

- and a couple of leica r lenses using a mount adapter.

since the samyang 12mm already has great close focus capabilities, does it further improve with a MCEX-XX? Its pretty popular, can anybody share some experience?

I was able to find a short sentence about the 35mm f2,, saying it is not great with the MCEX-XXs. Can any body confirm?

best regards,

Alex
