Macro MF

[Tom Deering <tdeering@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just got hold of another Ricohflex, and I'm wanting to build a macro MF
camera.  My question is a lens geometry question.

I could move the entire lens board forward an inch or two.  Or I could move
just the front element (the part the moves when you focus the camera
normally.)

If I move the entire lens board forward, I am essentially making an
extension tube.  I think I could whip up pretty quickly.  So I hope that's
the right answer.  :^)

Which is better?

Thanks all.  I'm eager to design a new camera since I ruined the twinned
Lubitels.  There's all that unused 120 film in the fridge.  :^)
