This image is not great but it is from my first time using my new Kenko extension tubes with my Sigma 150mm. I just used the popup flash with no diffuser.
A couple of notes for anyone considering the Kenko extension tubes, I purchased from ebay and bought the non DG version that seemed to be selling less expensively than the DG version, in fact these were advertised as new and I was able to purchase them for $85 including shipping from Canada. The only difference that I could find between the DG's and the non-DG's is that the DG's will accept an EF-S mount where the non DG's won't. Since I am not concerned with using EF-S lenses I could see no reason to pay more for the DG version. The tubes by the way exceeded my expectation in terms of nice tight fit and overall sturdiness.
Also a nice surprise is that I can focus the lens with a working distance of about 8" to about 2 feet, of course the closer the focus the greater the magnification.
same set up as me,the lighting makes a huge difference

Yes, I know, I was just checking it out in the backyard for a few minutes to see how I would like shooting with that setup. It's a far cry from the 2" or less working distance that I usually shoot with the reversed lenses.
