54mm Extension tubes

[Tandum (Robin)]

Does anyone know where to get hold of 54mm extension tubes?

I want to push my Vixen VC200L Focal Reducer further into the drawtube and need M54 extension tubes to do so.

Hi Robin, Contact Peter Lee in Hongkong and he will probably be able to get the extention made for you at a very respectable price.

He has made quite a few adapters for me.

No, there's not enough back focus using the 60mm external tubes. The Reducer on the VC200L lives inside the draw tube and looks to attach to it's adapter using an M54 thread. I figure if I move it up the draw tube, I'll get more back focus and maybe even drop the F a little more
