Re: LBA ?.. Kenko and soligor P/AF extention tube sets
I saw a set of these in one of the few local camera shops that still carried a more or less traditional group of products. They wanted $170.00 for them new in a box. I passed at the time but I wondered how well they worked. James wrote: Just picked up one set each of these. Almost impossiable to find a set that passes all 7 lens information contacts through. At long last, I can use my A 50mm 1.7 with tubes and PTTL flash instead of manual flash and a lot of guess work for my macro setup.

Did you say **AF** tubes Damn, I'd be happy simply with P/KA tubes, which generally go for $200 or so on Ebay, if they show up at all. Good find, James! I hope you didn't pay $300 for each :-) --M. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- http://www.EnticingTheLight.com -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 2009/6/25 James s...@eftel.net.au: Just picked up one set each of these.

Re: LBA ?.. Kenko and soligor P/AF extention tube sets
Christian, One more 'Pentax Quirk' to add to the list. I'm not bothered about the AF, although somebody using them to shorten the min focus distance of a long lens might be. However, I'm surprised we haven't seen some enterprising Chinese store on Ebay selling new P/KA tubes. They could make a small fortune. Maybe a big fortune if they were P/KAF tubes. --M. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- http://www.EnticingTheLight.com -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 2009/6/26 Christian christ...@skofteland.net: Miserere wrote: Did you say **AF** tubes Damn, I'd be happy simply with P/KA tubes, which generally go for $200 or so on Ebay, if they show up at all.
