I have purchased two Ricohflexes on eBay.  One had some icky gunk in the
lens threads and inside the shutter.  The other has a slow shutter.  They
were less than $30.  (I buy broken cameras so I can experiment and learn,
and also because I'm cheap.)  You can buy perfectly good ones for about $50.

Are you handy or rich?  :^)  An extension tube for a cheap MF camera like a
Ricohflex seems like it would be an experimenter's project.  Unless you
have the dough for a Hasseblad or Rollie.

I am the dumbest guy on this list, but that's what I know.  Take it for
what it's worth.  :^)

Cheers,

Tom
