[QUOTE="JGobeil, post: 3297729, member: 24649"] Just like if they were made to go together... I made a TC with aperture control using the TN removed from the EBC X-FUJINON Z 75-150mm lens. I ordered a M43 to EOS adapter with aperture control on eBay for 30$ including shipping. The female connector and a 14mm extension tube from a cheap 10$ M43 Extension Tube Set make a perfect fitting replacement for the EOS connector. The fit is perfect but the extension tube was still quite easy to remove so I glued it in place with 4 drops of Crazy Glue. Like I reported before, the TN is almost a perfect fit inside the M43 extension set. Removing the paint and a bit of metal inside the female connector using sandpaper with a Dremel tool is all that is needed. It is a tight fit but a small soft plastic spacer secures it perfectly. It is easy to add extension tubes to give the TN the magnification desired. 7, 14 and 28mm tubes are available. Width: 65mm Height: 45mm Weight: 187 g. Cost: less than 50$. I didn't get a chance to test it because it has been raining since I received it but I will report here as soon as it is done.
