Will do. It's a really good budget alternative! It's tricky and requires patience, especially with bloody bees (which must be the must indecisive creature ever, (apart from Dum-Dum...)). If you're interested though, definitely grab an old manual lens and try it! I got mine for £30, I think, a couple of years ago. Equally the extension tubes are supposed to be a good alternative, with lighting being the only issue. I also have a cheap ring "flash" on the way (not really a flash, but we shall see).

Thanks Pete! I'm liking it more the more I do it.
