I bought a cheap set of extension tubes on *** for like $5. It's super annoying having to hold the DOF preview button and actually take off the lens in order to lock the aperture. Are there any extension tubes that allow on camera aperture adjustment?

I feel like it's because there is no electronic connection between the lens and the camera body, so I'm thinking if I buy a set of autofocus extension tubes it'll solve the problem? I just want some confirmation before I shell out $150 for AF tubes and the problem still persists.
