Kenko Extension Tubes

Alright, I want you all to write a letter to the address below and tell them to start making more Pentax K Mount Extention Tubes that I can use on my K20D. Adorama and B&H both show them as discontinued.

Here is the address

KENKO CO.,LTD. INTERNATIONAL MARKETING
NISHI-OCHIAI 3-9-19
SHINJUKU-KU, TOKYO 161-8570

OK?

I understand the owner of Kenko is the brother of the owner of Hoya.

Thanks to you all for writing.

Tried to order them from one (maybe the only) US distributor. Told me they were discontinued! They have always been able to supply them before. Bummer. Never bought the 3 piece set. Did buy the Uniplus 25mm af tube with screw drive. It rarely leaves the macro lens.
Since they are brothers ( rep told me same story) would think that they would have some things for Pentax or maybe even make stuff for Pentax. Could be too soon yet. Kenko has other things not brought into this country like mirror lenses.
I would love an extension tube with rotating tripod mount like old Nikon one. At least there will be a ring flash for us soon. Now bring out the 200 macro again. Good luck with your request.

Thanks

Thanks. Looking forward to the ring flash as well, that was a nice annoucement. And my next lens will be a macro most likely.
