[The model I have is made for the bellows but will work with the tubes. It is not the auto model-the newer model with the fine adjustments. It is a 200XX so is coated, I think. This works for me as I usually just set the range I want and rock and fire.
I am not sure of the optimal setting-I would guess 8 or 11. Time will tell. I think the setting was 1.1:1. I am not sure that this lens on these tubes or bellows do go beyond 1.2:1 without the lens attachment or the 7mm extension tube. I have been wrong before.
Yes, I got the same lens as you. I am looking for an auto bellow now. This is the one that will go only to f22. Strangely enough I couldn\'t find any info on the newer model that goes up to f32. I have found contradicting info that these older ones are single coated. What does it looks on yours?
I double checked and confirmed these goes up to 1.2:1 only. There is a front close up lens that will increase it to 2:1. I misread and thot that it is able to go up to 2:1 native. So will be looking out for this front close up lens. I wonder if attaching a 49mm closed-up filter will have the same effect.
[edit] ok found some info on the 2 versions. The ones that we have with serial # starting from 2 are the first version. The 2nd version starts with 1. Now I am stumped. I have thot I got the 2nd version...lol
[edit] found this achromatic corrected closed up lens from Olympus that can be screwed onto 49mm. This will give the 80/4 2:1 when used with the auto tubes 65-116. This is developed for the IS but can be used on OM lenses.
