Are the 14134-1 & 14134-2 extension tubes the ones used for the 60/2.8
Macro lens?

Frank:
The 14134-1 & 14134-2 extension tube combination works well with the 400mm
Telyt (between the body and the lens) and reduces the close focus point to
about 8 feet. I have, but not yet tried the 14134-3 25mm threaded
extension between the two. I have it, and will report... as soon as I can
remember where I put it!
