Thanks.
I am not sure that I asked one of my questions properly. Let me try again. Thank you for your patience with me.
I think you have answered this but may be I do not understand the information you have given.
If I am using a 4x infinity objective where would you place the Raynox in your system please?

If it's a raynox 250 (125 mm of focal => 125 mm between retro lens tube and the sensor. In my system it's inside of 58 mm tube with 3 cm of 42 mm tube.
If it's a raynox 150 (205 mm) i use a tube 58 mm for a more long tube (4 cm) without 42 mm tube. And i adjust with manfrotto for 1 cm more.
125 mm + 3 + 4 + 1 = 205 mm.....
Normally 16 cm between end of tube 58 mm without additonnal tube 58 mm and sensor. 10 cm for tube 58 mm + 1 cm for air + 5 cm mecanical adaptation nex-M42 + depht of camera.
16 cm - 3 cm = 130 mm (125 mm fo drc 250)
16 cm + 4 cm + 1 cm = 210 mm (205 mm for dcr 150).

I work with a manfrotto 454 but uncommon system. No limitation, no motorisation, good precision.
