Thank you, Shel - I didn't know there was such an animal as a helicoid extension tube,

Hello all...
Does anyone have experience with Vivitar's K-mount auto extension tube set?
What's the quality like?
I'd prefer Pentax, but the price of Vivitar's set is about 1/3 that of a new

Thanks, Shel. These tubes represent my first foray into macro photography,
