RE:[OM] Olympus extension tubes

[Francois Corriveau]

Hi Viv

Well, I bought extension tubes a mouth ago and they were like new: no marks 
at all! But they are, like yours,  very tight: when I put them in place for 
the first time, I tough there was something wrong! All my lenses mount have 
some wear, I think this is normal. On the other hand, you should check the 
screw with a ruler or something: maybe it's a little loose?
Good luck

Francois
