Buddy;
I have a better idea, send me the Oly 2X, I'll send you an auto Vivitar
extension tube, about 38mm I think!

PS: If you insist on your other course of action, I can only offer this
experience: I did what you're proposing to a Vivitar doubler (for Mamiya
645) and it was a snap. All auto features retained. I only did this
because one of the groups had become delaminated.
