Pixco extension tubes are similar to Fotga ones in their sizing and materials. The 10mm is wide but not long enough and the 16mm is long but not wide enough (in it's unmodified form) but the 16mm is easy to modify. Both brands offer pass through electronics so AF and aperture lens control works normally.

I have just tried a set of Fotga tubes and although they autofocus and pass through the aperture when connected directly to the camera they do not do so when attached to my MC20. I wondered if the fact that the two extra contacts on the MC20 are "open" could affect the transmission of the standard pins. How can my set-up differ from yours ? Maybe there is a difference between MC20 and MC14.

I have the fotodiox tubes and they work on both the 1.4x and 2x TCs. You might want to check the MC20 pins.
