If I had some OM-mount extension tubes, I probably wouldn't be
buggerizing around with an OM->M42 adapter, a set of M42 tubes, and an
M42 reversing ring.
Having the right tool for the job is so much easier of course...
(actually, thanks for the tip. I'll keep an eye out for a short
non-auto OM tube, which probably woudln't have interested me
otherwise.)
