The Canon 1.4x TC WON'T work with the 100mm. I got the Kenko 1.4x 300 DG Pro and it functions perfectly. The AF works and I see no loss of image quality. I can't comment on the DG extension tubes yet as I have them on order. The extension tubes give you more magnification by allowing the camera to focus closer than before where as the TC works by magnifying the image which keeps the same minimum focusing distance. Tubes won't do any good unless you can get the lens closer to the coral. Oh, I'm looking to sell my 100mm macro if anyone is interested

Blazer don't tempt me with purchasing another lens...
I just ordered (ebay) a couple of really cheap extension tubes. Basically they are pieces of plastic that have canon fittings. All this will do is move my lens further away. There is no electrical connections so AF and aperture control are not going to happen. But for $5 it's at least worth a shot.

Well that depends on what lens I have. They don't all automatically go to full aperture. It won't be useless either way. I can still get good images even with a small DOF. It will take more work, but again $5. Also, if I reverse a lens onto another in conjunction with the tubes I can adjust the aperture very easily on at least one of the lenses.
