auto-focus?

Have you guys experienced the same thing, where the lens just locks in at minimum focus, and you have to move the camera back and forth to get the subject in focus?  I've tried getting the lens to auto-focus with these cylinders on, at a distance other than minimum, and it won't.  the electrical contacts seem to be working fine, as the lens will do some focus hunting, but then it just settles in at minimum focus distance, period. This is regardless of whether I have 26mm, 16mm, or 10mm of cylinder on there.

I have the latest firmware in both my NX20 and the 30mm f2 lens.  Anyone's different lenses do this too, or is it just the 30mm?
