Hi
Following the need identified when I photographed a trapped wasp, I have
purchased a pair of Me*ke automatic micro 4/3rds extension tubes from the
Bay for use with my OMD-EM5 and the kit lens.  They have arrived very
promptly and function on the camera but I am a little concerned because
they are a very tight fit with each other, camera and lens, much more so
than my Olympus Zuiko extension tube which needs to be used with an adaptor
and Zuiko lenses.  And I have a reputation for a strong wrist for many
purposes!
Should I consider a touch of some lubricant to help the sliding metal
surfaces, perhaps a silicone oil using a drop on a lint free cloth to
apply?  Or is that asking for trouble?
Any advice appreciated.
Brian
