: The 7 mm tube has 'auto' stamped on it.  Both the levers move but they do
: not spring back into place afterwards.  It appears to me that, in theory,
: the springs in the body and the lens can perform the same function as the
: springs in the 14 mm extension.  I thought perhaps the thinness of the tube
: didnt leave room for springs.

I have the manual 7mm tube; there aren't any levers on it, so yours is auto. I
don't know if the auto version is supposed to have springs inside. I have a TC 
w/o
springs that works, using the spring mechanism of the lens and body, as long as
you mount the lens on the TC with the levers in the right posisition.
