The tube is of course part of a set of 25, 14 and 7 mm. The set is intended
to get a 50 mm non-macro lens steplessly down to 1:1. The set will of course
give the extensions 7, 14, 21, 25, 32, 35, 39 and 46 mm, add to this the
extension of the helical and you will easily have the 50 mm extension you
need for 1:1 with a standard lens.
