I've been hunting around for a set of three Kenko auto extension tubes to use with my lovely 60mm macro and OMD EM1. All I've been able to find up to now are sets of two extension tubes (10 and 16mm) that fit micro-four-thirds, while sets of three (10, 20 and 36mm) are available for Canon, Nikon and Sony.

Yesterday, I found this on e-bay:

This is the only place I've seen these. Even on Kenko's own website there aren't any sets of three auto extension tubes that fit MFT.

I contacted the sellers and they were as clear as they could be (given that their first language is Korean) that this was definitely a set of three for MFT, even thought their photo shows the Nikon model.

Has anyone got a set of Kenko Extension tubes that fit MFT?

Kenko makes a set of two for M4/3.
