Very Delicate, Tristin. 

The 6T obviously does a good job on the 105/1.8.   Are you satisfied with that combo?

John, very happy indeed.  The 5T and 6T individually have gotten me the results I've wanted without the need to stack them yet.  Image quality is fantastic though they can add a bit of CA sometimes, particularly at f/1.8 or f/2.  Luckily the 105mm f/1.8 is practically CA free, though not LoCA, so it works out great.  I can't say I would use the closeup lenses with a lens that already exhibits CA, the 105mm f/2.5 would not take kindly to these.  The 105mm f/1.8's lack of CA combined with it's lack of color cast makes it perfect for capturing delicate tones without needing a lot of PP to correct the colors.  The slow and precise focus ring really helps here!

Gary, yes.  Yes I did and it was well worth it!  Though it was no challenging task.  It was a beautiful warm day and I had nowhere better to be.  ☺
