OK for the price.

This bellows does the job of extending the lens for macro work. The plastic tripod mount looks a bit flimsy but is fairly stable. I prefer to mount the camera to the tripod since the bellows is pretty light. Some warnings: 1. Metering and focus must be done manually, since the contacts on the lens don't couple with the camera. 2. The adjustment for the amount of extension is very loose until locked into place. Not a problem unless you need a lot of precision for something like focus stacking. 3. You will need a lens with an aperture ring unless you want to be stuck with the smallest aperture. I bought the bellows for occasional fun with macro, so it suits my needs in spite of its limitations.

Overpriced and inexpensively made

Poor milling on slide gears, "sloppy". It works but I'd look at others first
