Sort of.  Remember that before you take the picture you have to manually
stop down.  That's the part that is the pain.

I think you had that right, just wanted to clarify.

I'm not much of a tube user, as I rarely go with a higher magnification than
the 90/2 can do, so I can't help with the other questions.
