My latest B&H Photo catalogue (July 1999) lists the Telescopic Auto Extension 
Tube 65-116 as retailing for $259.95 U.S.  It's meant for the portable use of 
the Oly macro lenses *other than* the 50/2.0, 50/3.5 and 90/2.0.  Better than 
carrying around that big bellows, I guess.  ;-)

P.S.:  There's also one being auctioned on eBay as I write this.  See:

       http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=189532940

Right now, its price seems reasonable, but this state of affairs is bound not 
to continue for long...
