Nah, just add a 65-116 auto tube and a 14mm extension tube and you're within
.5mm of the PMT-35 (I'm sure you can get that last .5mm using brute force :-).
In addition, you'll be able to go down to 36mm instead of the dismal 94mm of
the PMT-35. Clearly the PMT-35 is far inferior to the bellows + extension
setup. In the interest of keeping zuikoholics equipped with only the best
Olympus equipment, I'll kindly offer to exchange those horried PMT-35's for
the far superior bellows setup :-)
