did about the same last week. I just tried to do some macro with my 85mm + extenders
here are the results (really my first go at it)





by the way, so close that indeed almost impossible to stay still unless with a tripod. But at the same time you want to fine tune your focus so much that a tripod might even be too rigid.

The hardest part is that anyway I couldn't quite tell which focus was the best as I was shooting (view finder too small)

So I ended up setting my lense to manual, shooting continusouly more or less around the right focus point and eventually kept the ones that were ok.
