It will not get to true macro, but I should be able to focus a lot closer. Also, it works with auto exposure and auto focus, although manual focus may be the way to go. Auto focus on the 5DII is very accurate, as the camera allows you to set the optimum lens to sensor distance for each lens, but I don't know how that will work with an extension tube. Anyway, it is a first step. Now to find a fly like that.
