Alexander,

You are probably right.  I just don't have any tubes hanging around.
maybe I'll have to pick one up now.

It works, but the disadvantage is you can't move the 
rear part (where the camera is mounted) along the
rail. Yet focusing works by moving the front part and
the entire camera-bellows along the rail.

Alexander,
You are right.  That is a good idea and would provide some (which is more
than I have now!) albeit limited functionality.   Given the length of the
distance between the bottom of where the lens attaches and the base of the
camera (even w/o the BG-10), this would allow moving the back portion of the
bellows a distance that corresponds to the distance the extension ring
extends beyond the rear portion of the rail of the bellows.  

I will try this with the Auto Bellow and post the results.
