HU - for u macro guys --> Third party extension tubes for Fuji w/ full af capability

Looks pretty good. Guy says these tubes are also available from amazon. He got them originally from eBay. They have pass thru contacts so lens is fully functional.

If these are the same Chinese tubes that I and a few others ordered (they look very much like it), be very careful. One set destroyed a buddy's camera (ruined the contacts), another one didn't even fit, and it also currupted a camera body of mine, but at least I was able to recover that w/o sending in the camera. So I got my money back and threw the rings into the trash, as the seller didn't want them back. Oh, and the one ring that at least fit physically didn't transmit a signal.

Wow.. Good thing I never use extension rings. But out of curiosity.. Is there a good way to figure out if these rings will cause a problem for those who maybe interested.
