Hi Everyone, I took my "Minty" Pentax Auto Extension Tube Set (B) to my local repairman and he was able to clean all three tubes and add "graphite" to make them work as new (yeah!!).
Now it is time to go out and take some close-up photos of all the wild flowers around here.... Regards, -- Jose R. Rodriguez >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Pat, I suspect that the problem is with the return spring (it does not return like the other two tubes), but I am not too confident about opening the back to check it out. I am afraid that the spring will pop out, etc... Have you opened an extension tube before? Is it easy to reset the spring properly? Thanks! -- Jose R.
