Buddy,
I would think, on the basis of expense and objective, that doing this
with one of the Vivitar 2X macro converters would be much more the thing
to do. Using the Vivitar converter would give you a variable auto
extension tube with a range from about 40mm to about 80mm. Now, that's
something that could be useful!
IMHO,
Rand E.
