You don't usually see the full set of 4 Contax Extension Tubes - the boxed sets nearly always feature just 3 - the 27mm, 20mm and 13mm. Contax Extension Tubes - 4 set As you can see, this set includes the rather rare 7.5mm Extension Tube. Although the Contax and Yashica sets of three tubes are identical, Yashica decided against producing the 7.5mm size. There is a small downside to adding this extra magnification - you lose the auto-aperture connection to the camera. That being said, it's not much of a hardship. Users of the Yashica ML 55mm f2.8 Macro lens will be familiar with the 27mm tube from both Contax and Yashica sets as it's needed for 1:1 magnification.

That is a problem with most extension tube sets -- the shortest tube is too long to be useful with shorter focal length lenses!
