Frank:

The 14134-1 & 14134-2 extension tube combination works well with the 400mm 
Telyt (between the body and the lens) and reduces the close focus point to 
about 8 feet.  I have, but not yet tried the 14134-3 25mm threaded 
extension between the two.  I have it, and will report... as soon as I can 
remember where I put it!
