[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I just bought a set of R ext tubes locally. The set has a 14134-1 (female bay end) and 14134-2 (male bay end). It also came with 14135 tubes for varying degrees of additional extension. I bought the tubes to do some close up work using a 50/2 or 90/2 (and someday maybe a 60/2.8 or 100/2.8). I also wanted them to narrow dof for portraits, something I often do with a Hasselblad ext tubes and a 150. Can anyone give me any info on Leica tubes. The set I bought doesn't meter couple. Can this set be used on any body? Were there tubes that meter couple? If there are variations of tubes, is there a big difference in cost? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks Dave
