Did you have a question in there somewhere?

Unless the extension tubes have electronic contacts to communicate to the camera, then you will have to shoot in the totally manual mode. You will have to use the cameras lightmeter in the stop down mode or use an external lightmeter

Fitting or mount, may be a DD mount. Fhotoace is right
