This is for my XD11. I looked at Extension Tube II but it doesnt have the auto aperture dealy bobs on them. I couldnt find a Set III. I did find a MC Extension Tube Set with the auto aperture (im assuming) levers on the side. Is that what I want or is there something for MD lenses so that all modes on the XD11 will work? thanks.
 
What modes are you referring to? Looking through the extension tube and auto bellows manuals, it seems that auto aperture does not work. Aperture appears to require manual setting.

I have a genuine set of Minolta extension tubes and they only work correctly in Manual or Aperture Priority mode. In Shutter Priority mode it doesn't work.
