The combination is somewhat superior to the other choice of the possibly-mythical ZOOAN <g> and OUBIO in that the former lets you focus from 37 3/8" to infinity, while the latter only does from 59 1/16" to infinity. OUFRO, by the way, can be used with the ZOOAN/OUBIO combination as an extention tube.
