Re: Using your MC-20 Teleconverter with your OLY 60mm Macro lens

I received my order of 2 sets of 10mm and 16mm pixco extension tubes.  I wanted to attached 10mm together to not need to worry about scarping away any material on the 16mm.  Unfortunately, one of my 10mm tubes is not allowing the electronic connections to work.  I tested by attaching one 10mm tube directly to the lens and one works (allowing autofocus, focus bracketing, etc.) and the other does not.  I have emailed roxsen support to get their thoughts...

Try making the hole on the tube that the small mount pin goes into slightly bigger as a slightly misaligned hole is a known cause of this issue.
