Will do, I found that I did have an old CPC Nikon mount 28-70mm 3.5-4.5 macro on a Nikon N2000, I tried it out last night in the house to see if it worked and it did ok it is manual which I do not mind as I rarely use auto focus on any of my gear. Will get out and shoot with it later today

Depending on the camera, tubes will require contacts in order to communicate with the body. Given the cost of tubes so equipped, he is better off saving for a macro lens... Older manual focus ones are not much more than tubes anyway...I have auto tubes & manual tubes & that's my opinion.... Seeing as macro is my niche, I have all bases covered, tubes (both auto & manual), auxiliary magnifying lenses, bellows, reversing rings and AF & MF macro lenses... Bottom line is that the true macro lens, for those who have a decided interest in macro,is the best way to go... Get that first & then dabble in the other methods. To do otherwise may just turn one off to macro shooting as it's not as easy as it looks and other methods have more shortcomings or are just less convenient than a dedicated macro lens.
