I did look in the evil eye and did not like what I saw.

Technical question NS. Would these be compatible with your state-of-the-art diigtal bodies ?
Or do those  bodies  accept even the very oldest of Nikon F lenses and accessories ,  without giving a "Lens not attached" type error message ?

Yes David, but my state-of-the-art digital bodies — not being able
to communicate with the lens — turn into something totally manual. 
The onboard light meter and the histogram are the only tools working
like no-contacts extension tubes and old ƒ lenses.

I do have the latest versions of AF-F mount lenses that I use with full
contacts extension tubes but the PB6 is a most powerful macro tool,
very powerfull.
