Do any of your extension tubes mate with the Oly teleconverters?

Re: Fotga FT1 works for me

I ordered a set made by Meike (Amazon US), as others would take awhile and I have read of good experience with this brand - with the assumption that shaving out is the key.

However I have shaved out enough (I think - the TC fits inside easily) but the MC-14 seems unwilling to connect to this extension tube. I'm going to shave it out a little more, but I'm not sure what to think. The extension tube connects fine to lenses or the camera and works fine, too. So, I'm hoping I am a little off center in my shaving and more will get this solved. That is my hope. Perhaps later today.

FWIW, I have a small round metal file that is doing most of the work, then a large rounded on one side/flat on the other file whose small end is just small enough to fit the space to smooth things from the small file and my final stage is course sand paper the opposite direction. It really smooths things out and cleans it up nicely. I didn't trust myself with a Dremel - although now that I say that I am reminded of the round sanding disks I have - might have to check that - that could work, with the ET in a vice to keep it still. Hmm . . .

Please harshly criticize my images - it helps me better at this photography thingy.
