Re: 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.
Yeah - I'm not used to having to work this hard.
For my interests/needs using the Movo extension tubes will probably work best. That said - I may explore trying some of this with the Oly 40-150mm as the longer lens is a lot more useful for this kind of stuff IF you can reduce the MFD.
To answer my own question, I ordered the Fotodiox Pro extension tubes from Amazon.ca, the 10mm worked but not the 16mm, it won't fit directly with the MC 2.0 teleconverter. So I have the 10mm and than the 16mm. I must say the quality of the Fotodiox is not as good as the Meike ,almost twice as much as the Meike, even the labeling on the tube is poor compare to the Meike. I have to decide if I will keep them or wait for the Pixco on order from China.
