with the aperture ring?.  The 14256 extension tube is (IMHO) better for
R-cameras because it not only performs the same functions as the 14198 with
the 60 Macro, it can also be used with any other R-lens.

Mine can be used with any lens; and I have used it with the 50 and a 90 I
owned but sold a while back. It looks like the 100 2.8 stands as the #1
recommendation; but I had read that the 60 exceeds it in terms of
sharpness. Maybe the local camera store will let me play with it a bit ... ;-)

Thanks,
