Novoflex Automatic Bellows for Leica and Panasonic L-Mount Camera and Lenses

For photography enthusiasts seeking to delve into the world of macro and photomicrography, the BAL-LET Automatic Bellows Unit is a must-have accessory. Specifically designed for L-Mount Mirrorless cameras and lenses, including brands like Leica, Panasonic, and Sigma, this unit ensures seamless transfer of all functions between your camera and lens.

The BAL-LET Automatic Bellows Unit offers the unique feature of accommodating matching lenses in a reverse position, provided an optional reduction ring is used. This flexibility allows for a range of special applications, making it a versatile addition to your photography gear.

As part of the NOVOFLEX adapter system, this automatic bellows unit is fully integrated, ensuring compatibility with other lenses. Moreover, it fits into the extensive NOVOFLEX modular system, allowing it to be paired with a variety of NOVOFLEX accessories. This makes it an ideal choice even for those who prefer working with manual lenses.

The function of a bellows device is to provide a stepless extension, which is the distance between the sensor or film plane and the lens. This allows for format-filling photography of smaller objects. When used with the Schneider Kreuznach lens Apo Digitar 4.5/90, it offers stepless adjustment from infinity to 1:1 with a 35mm camera.

Telephoto lenses can focus much closer than their near focusing range when used with the bellows, offering tele-perspective in the close-up range and a long working distance. This ensures no disturbance of the object and provides space for additional lighting.

With standard and especially wide-angle lenses, the bellows unit enables enlarged images for macro shooting, with ratios over 1:1 to about 7:1. When mounted on a tripod, a separate focusing rack from the CASTEL series can be used to adjust the zone of sharpness without changing the bellows extension or the tripod position, maintaining a constant magnification.

In summary, the BAL-LET Automatic Bellows Unit is a versatile, integrated, and adaptable tool for photographers looking to explore the realms of macro and photomicrography.
