This definitely works OK, Mohamed. I've done this before with an A 100/4. However, I don't know how much extension you'd need (since I wasn't trying to hit exactly 1:1, and I was using the convenient variable Helicoid Extension Tube at the time - to be honest, I was only "playing around" at the time - <g>). You'll want to use the built-in metering on your MX to judge exposures when using extension tubes (unless you like to do calculations - <g>). Fred - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
