I was talking about third-party tubes. One can score them $10 each if one shops 
enough -- no Fang!

I agree that price would be a real Fang for Oly auto tubes, which will cost 
about three times as much. One should be able to score a set of Oly tubes for 
$100 or less if one shops.

That's certainly on the high side of KEH!

Heretic, indeed! That's the lens that Gary's page claims as one of the very 
best Zuikos!
