I just recently obtained a 2X Extender and I thought it would be a wonderful opportunity to try it with my Macro lens. Two things, I handheld this shot, this is the best one of the bunch. DOF is shallow but I thought this fern in my garden made a nice contrast with metal pump. Fern just found its way through the opening and the lighting was just great also. I no have a 180 macro. Yeah! But I'll use my tripod next time.
