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

Coming from Nikon FF land, one of the ways I got more from my 105mm macro lens was to add the 1.4x teleconverter to it.

I noticed that the Oly 60mm macro has no room to accommodate the lens of the Oly 1.4x TC, but wondered if my extension tube might accommodate that, and allow me to add it in - but the inner circle of my extension tubes (Movo brand, Amazon US) were too narrow.

So, if you have the Oly 60mm macro lens AND extension tubes AND the Oly 1.4x TC - will the TC fit inside your extension tubes? If so, would love to know the brand and where you got them. Bonus for if they were a set of three. Double bonus if AF works with all three. TIA.

The Fotga does fit, but the pair I got would not AF even mounted normally, so I returned them.

The Vello EXT-MFTD2 does not fit on the MC-14. Only the 10mm will fit over the MC-14 optics.

The Kenko DG does not fit. However both tubes barely fit over the optics.

I have the Fotodiox Pro, Movo Photo AF, and Meike MK-P-AF3A coming from Amazon to test.

Probably best to get a good set of extension tubes that you like and both fit over the MC-14 optics and mill a recess for the MC-14 tab.

I have the Movo and Meike set from Amazon and OTHER than the MC-14/MC-20 - they work great and AF - Move is a set of three and one, two, or three, still support AF for me.

Thanks for the reply - I had been pointed to another of his threads, but not that one. I appreciate the help!
