Re: [OM] extension tubes

As has been noted before, it is easy to fill the offending screw hole with 
some 5-minute epoxy.  The mount on my Tamron 400 has been in use for several 
years with one application of epoxy.  I don't think looking for the latter 
versions of the Adaptall mount is worth much effort .
