Come to think of it, screw-mount extension rings would work too. Since both the 200mm and 280mm have screw-mount fittings to the OUBIO, and since I use a 14167 between the OUBIO and the R, I can put extension rings either: Between lens and OUBIO (LTM fitting) Between OUBIO and 14167 (M fitting) Between 14167 and R camera (R fitting) So, are there any short extension rings in the 5mm-10mm range for either LTM, M, or R fittings?
