Thanks Joseph for a very illuminating discussion of the issues.  On my own account I will go away and do some research.

Very very useful.

I have used that combination of short tube and an achromat myself but happened on that  by accident not by design.  I do use achromats but typically a 3 dipotres like the Nikon 6T on longer telephotos e.g. 70-300 or 300 just to get a bit closer in and not to 1:1.  That said, I was about to play around with my Tamron SP90 to just get a bit more magnification than 1:1 so I will play around with the sort of combination you mentioned.

cheers

Richard
