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

So - apparently I have different results than others. Bottom line, no gain from getting either of the Oly TCs to join up with the 60mm macro.

That’s puzzling. Your result with just extension tubes matches mine. I got better with an MC-14, with an image height of 6mm. The bigger gain was an increase in working distance and focusing range. For me that was worth the modest cost of the Fotga tubes.

The biggest win was combining MC-14 or MC-20 with a Raynox DCR-250. That is much more effective than just the DCR-250 alone, or than extension tube + DCR-250 (which had no focus range).

I agree that the Fotga tubes are poor for any other purpose. You need to deepen the hole for the pin, as Peter 1745 described, for them to work on some cameras.
