If you use a Novoflex bellows then you have fully automatic coupling - just
like the Auto Tube. (Downside is that you have to rotate the whole bellows
unit on the ripod head to shoot vertical format). Pricey new but I found a
bargain set on EBay - the seller was in Germany and only described it as
Balgengerat which seemed to hide it from most potential high bidders!
(Likewise anyone after a Varimagni should also look out for Winkelsucher!)

Yes, Chip - quite correct! (I'm so used to using a bellows, I forget about
tubes!!)

With the bellows, yes, but with the 65-116mm telescopic auto tube, the 80mm
Auto Macro will work like any other auto lens, while the manual 80mm will
need to be stopped down to meter and shoot.
