When fitted with, say, the 13mm tube, in P mode on my K5, I get aperture control on the rear wheel & shutter speed on the front.
The tubes are an old set of Jessops, the box marked "For Pentax--KA".
They have 6 contacts, with the paint removed at the next position round.
"Should" they not work?!

It won't get you v. close but I've used my 55-300 with 12 &/or 21 tubes.
The advantage being it keeps your distance from butterflies, etc. & gives you a good chance of capturing an image before the critters fly off!

May I also recommend his book "Open Skies", which mainly features mono. landscapes of Somerset.
Even the (few) still life images make it look as though war is about to break out!
Superb photography by a talented & caring man.

Some from the folk music concert in the Church, last evening.
All with K5, 100macro or 18-55.
1600, 2300 ISO.
Cropped & converted in Elements 11.
First time I've taken shots in this environment.
Difficult to frame around / through all the mic. stands, etc.
Various colour temp. lighting. (Hence, mono. conversions!)
Hope you like them, all C&C welcome.

No.3 please!
And I would have "gardened" the grass out of shot in the first place....
This wasn't a "grab" shot, surely. Was it?!

Thanks, Jeff & John.
I think the focus is down to me! With a focal length of 500mm, from about 5 foot away, it's pretty critical!
I would say, however, that on an A4 print I wasn't exactly displeased with the sharpness of the image overall!
Thanks again for the interest shown.

C&C welcome.
edit:
Sorry this is too big, I've been trying all evening (on & off)to upload images, without success thus far.
This is , as you can see, via P'bucket, the "old fashioned"way.
Thank you, all.
Your encouraging remarks are much appreciated.

This beautiful weather is not doing the water level any favours......!
Both, as the one on The Gallery, K5, 150-500, handheld, manual focus, PSE11.
Your thoughts on all three would be most welcome.
Thanks for looking,
Roger.
