Re: Fuji macro extension tubes - MCEX-11 or MCEX-16?

I'm starting to experiment with the 11.  FWIW, it seems that the 18-55, @55mm, mounted on the MCEX-11 gives only slightly less magnification than the 60/2.4 (note that this is not true of the 56 - it's MFD is such that it cannot achieve that level of magnification).  So, I'm going to give that combo a try at a botanical garden in Puerto Vallarta next week, with the logic that the OIS will make hand-held shots easier.  Not sure how that will turn out, and I know the 18-55 isn't as sharp as the 60, particularly at 55mm, but I'm not looking to crop or print large so I'm hoping the results will be acceptable.
