A bit much going on, there is more than one image going on here.
Look at all those locks in the background, a Pentax 50mm f1:1.2, wide open, focused mid-way, what a picture !
Close-in on the tattoo's, another image.
Red and Blues on the boat ?
Group on the right, with the tattoo'ist in focus @ f2.8 ?

Exactly the same problem
Might start scraping.
Tried a little tin foil and this works too

It's funny if I take the M 50mm f1.7 lens off the tube, and put it on the K7, it works ok.
I've tried the tubes with a few lenses, and they all work ok on the other cameras, but not on the K7.
Must be the tubes They are Hoya, but made and purchased before the 'take-over'

For some reason this doesn't work on my K7, it stays wide open, no matter what f-stop I have chosen.
Anyway, thanks to your idea of starting to remove the lens/tube, I can get it to at least operate at my chosen f-stop.
Not exactly what you were trying to do, but has got me out of a hole, thanks.
John.

Would this be a fair price ?
Thing is, don't know if I would use it, wide angle is my thing, but it is in near mint condition and could start me on another path ?
Going to put it on the K7 tomorrow, so I will be able to sleep on the decision.
