Is It Macro Daddy Or Daddy Macro

Got a couple of Viltrox brand extenders from Amazon.

All images taken from as close as the auto-focus would bear and as steady as I could make my hands hovering over the target.  Camera was in Program mode and allowed to run as it saw fit.

Admission: I still need better illumination.

No extender:
EOS M50 with EF-M 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM at 45mm, f/6.3, 1/80", ISO 200
10mm:
EF-M 15-45mm with 10mm extender tube at 45mm, f/6.3, 1/80", ISO 320
16mm:
EF-M 15-45mm with 16mm extender tube at 45mm, f/6.3, 1/100", ISO 500
Both:
EF-M 15-45mm with 10mm and 16mm extender tubes at 45mm, f/6.3, 1/80", ISO 640

The old camera is no slouch when it comes to macro...  Set to Super Macro in program mode with ISO locked to 80.

Added a small LED flashlight shining in from about 11 o'clock that ended up illuminating by bounce off the face of the lens because it's damn near touching the coin.

PowerShot SX20 IS at 5mm, f/2.8, 0.5", ISO 80
