I long have had an A-Mount 100mm f2.8 macro lens. I get mediocre shots from it. I was reading about a popular Minolta 200mm f4 lens that people rave about, but that lens is going for well in excess of 1K$ used on eBay. I decided to mount my 300mm f2.8 lens on a heavy tripod and attach 56mm of extension tubes attached between the 300mm lens and my camera body. This worked fairly well.
I think a lot of people overlook how well the simple extension tube works.
