and attention at the FOTASY, it seems IMO a rebranded FOTGA product.

I saw those & ordered them some time ago. I thought a set of automatic tubes would be handy with my 55-200 for flowers, large bugs, mushrooms, or anything that did not need a 1:1 macro lens on those days you want to walk about with one lens.

They did not work, I sent them back. The camera would not autofocus with one tube and would not control aperture with the other. And they were very tight on the mount. Something was not right, they went back the same day I received them.

Maybe someday the better makers like Kenko will step up & provide good tubes. I have not looked lately
