My copy is out of date (being 1996/1997) and I beleive the 98/99 is now widely available. It will serve you as an excellent reference to spare parts and accessories. There is a Macro-Adaptor-R , order # 14-256, for f/2/50mm, f/2.8/60mm, f/2/90mm, f/2.8/135mm, f/2.8/180mm, f/3.4/180mm. Also there is Ring Combination for Close Focus Range, order # 14-159, for the same objectives excluding the 60mm. If however you need focal length extension there are the Apo-Extender-R 1.4x and -R 2x, order # 11-249 and # 11-262 respectively (these of course may be used with a range of lenses including some of the zooms - you should check the chart published in the Handbook to see whether each extender is suitable for your particular lenses.
