Mannesty, I´m from Ribeira, in the coast of Galicia.
I live much further south in Totana, Region de Murcia, where it's a lot warmer this time of year than where you come from and certainly where you are going. Enjoy your trip and I also look forward to seeing some of your photographs from Antarctica.

Welcome Juan, and make sure to pack plenty of batteries.

Pete, The tube is designed to take the weight from the flash head off the focus barrel on the D-FA macro lens, with the tube attached to the hood bayonet all the weight is then concentrated onto the main barrel of the lens.
The D-FA 100mm macro does not have one of the highest build qualities.
Perhaps it's not a good idea to hang the flash head from the filter thread of a D-FA lens then ! ! !

Whichever, if it has a filter ring, and I'm sure it does, just use the correct sized aluminium ring adapter.
I don't know what benefit the tube has, I don't use it.

Yes darkmunk, but the the auto aglign is also very handy if you shoot handheld.
Peter, I believe there were some way to bypass that, found some when googleing but since I've extended I didn't pay much notice, sorry

Peter, if my test are anything to go by, you can do it perfectly well with conventional layers.

Maybe you should. We had a high of 20 degrees C today but night-time temperatures are much lower at around 7 degrees. We haven't resorted to putting the heating on yet either. The pool hasn't seen any use for the last couple of months though, except for the two four week old kittens that I fished out of it. Both doing well, and growing.
