No.
No tubes or any other macro gadget.
No cropping either to get more '' magnification'
Just Q7 and macro lens.

Another big plus is that it works from infinity to min focus distance.

I am really impressed with those Q - vivitar 55mm shots !

It's a bit crappy weather here today, so I will have to do with looking at pics of critters in stead of the actual critters.. bleeegh winter time...

A picture from K5 paired up with Kiron 105mm macro:

wow Margriet that is a very nice image of a Sphinx Moth. We have them here in Eastern Oregon, but usually they are out when it is too dark to photograph them.

There are a lot of different sphingidae moths, this one; Macroglossum stellatarum or hummingbird hawk-moth flies during daytime and is fairly common in Europe, so easy pray for photographers
