Wow! I didn't know there was a set of tubes for the SL/SL2 models that had=
diaphram control linkages of any kind.
However, even if they did, it would only make a difference with lenses that=
have auto-diaphrams.... and that does not include the Telyt! So, you are=
right... no difference.
My understanding was that catalogue number 14134 referred to the 14134-1 &=
14134-2 25mm bayonet pair. The 14135 threaded 25mm extension ring went=
between them, and was available as an option. The 14159 number was used=
when all three were purchased together. Now, if I'm wrong, someone can=
correct me on this.
Hope this helps.
David.
PS: I'm planning on being in 'Frisco for the LHSA meet in October. Perhaps=
we'll meet up!! :-)
