Great pictures in this thread! Between the talk of extension tubes, reverse mounting, the dcr-250 and magnifying and macro lenses, I'm a bit confused though. If I'd want to shoot tiny insects like ladybugs, what would I use with a Canon 550D, what would the best working distance be and how does picture quality change between the above mentioned systems?

I'd be interested in this too. I just use the kit lens for my standard macro photos and would love to know what "cheap" alternatives there are to splashing out on a proper macro lens
