Thank you fetzler for the link. I have two Macro lenses very pleased with the results using them. I have yet to use the Micro setup that I purchased based on a UHH post months ago.

This article is very easy to read and very educational found a few things I did not realize.

The article mentions the use of extension tubes you can also use a bellows extension. Either way, be sure to order the rings you need to attach the lenses. This is especially true if you use a reversed 50mm. I have an older bellows, but new ones at a reasonable price are available:
