My search for a user 14198 is for more universal use. I have a 14256 that I've modified to fit the Leicaflexes, but it requires stop-down metering with the 'flexes. I also have an old 14198 w/o any guts that I use as a dumb extension tube for any lens, but it's manual EVERYTHING. I want an extension tube for my auto-diaphragm lenses (60, 100, 280) that will allow full-aperture metering with SL, SL2 and R bodies. The 14198 will do this if I remove the collar that covers the 60's aperture ring. The only quirk is that I have to remember to set the lens to its minimum aperture and use the aperture ring on the 14198.
