I have attached a link to an album of mine that is almost all 50mm with tubes. I dont love these photos so much anymore, but its just because Ive gotten better at macro photography and coincidentally was also able to finally get dedicated macro lense, though the actual improvements in my shots dont have much to do with having a macro vs using a 50 and tubes. I actually planned to spend some time with my old tubes to add to this album to show I can get very close to the same quality of images as I can with my 100mmL macro. So much more has to do with lighting. Composition and, for insects, knowing your subjects and how to get photos of them. Anyway....here is the album if youre curious -

Super album. There are some real beauties in there. And very relevant to the OPs situation. Good post.
