This adapter is essentially a 30mm empty tube that permits you to

Ricardo - I'm looking at the new KEH catalog and they are listing  extension
tubes - 14135, 14158 & 14134 - for $29.00

Also they are listing Macro-60 Elmarit-R adapt 1:1 14198 for $89.00 NEW!

If any of these are usable - they are after all just spacers with mounts on
em' - no cams - it would seem that you could do better than $200.00

KEH - 404.892.5522 - ask for Gayle, tell her I sent you.
