There's in great condition other than the fact that the labels for the tube thicknesses very easily rubbed off

Never seen anything like that before

Auto yes? How much?

Yeah, they pass the aperture info to the camera so you can control the aperture directly from the camera and don't have to stop down to meter. I tried them out last night. I had never used extension tubes before and I hadn't realize just how narrow the min to max focus distance becomes when you use one.

As for the labels, they weren't completely rubbed off when I got them. The 12mm and 20mm labels were partially rubbed off so I finished the job. Then my overwhelming need for symmetry took over and I removed the 36mm label as well

Edit: Just noticed a similar set on ebay. Looks like the labels wore off those as well.

LBA got the better of me (again).

Had to test it on my PZ-1p as I didn't realize (until now) that the K-x doesn't support power zoom.

Thanks. I haven't had it long, nor have I had a chance to even run a roll of film through it. Bought the wrong batteries for it by mistake so it took me about a week to get around to exchanging them for the right ones

Picked this up last Monday, found it in the window at a local camera store in the "used" section. Looks like it was hardly used at all, the FL will be perfect on my film cameras.

$550.00. They also had a used black FA31LTD for around $850, it was gone when I went in Monday to pickup the FA43LTD.

You really lucked out....from the serial number, it looks like one of the early editions that had better glass.

pretty good prices there Phil. too bad I can't afford them this year though without having to sell some old stuff as well. right now, I'm on the hunt for a 285HV or a 383 Super. any idea where I can find one locally?
