I agree with you Thomas, except for one thing - don't let the 7mm manua;
tube out of your possession - it is just what you need when you have a lens
reversede on the autotube - fitted to the bayonet of the reversed lens it
holds the aperture closed at whatever you have preset. Easier than
reversing the lens board on the bellows and fitting a double cable release I
say.

Subject: [OM] Re: justification for keeping auto tubes ?
Hey, I have a similar dillemma -- 'cept that I also have a set of manual
tubes to throw in there. I was considering no longer keeping the bellows,
but then what with the vst macro stand....? I want to keep that but IIRC it
works only with the bellows, not the telescopic auto-tube...but the
telescopic auto-tube is so nice "in the field". Even more compact for
travelling is the auto-tubes combined with the 50/3.5 macro, so...? Sighs,
being a Zuikoholic isn't easy, right...but that's my justification ;)
Anyone interrested in a few manual extension tubes? ;)
