Novoflex Automatic Bellows for MFT-Mount Camera and Lenses

An innovative solution for macro and photomicrography, the BAL-MFT automatic bellows unit is specifically designed to enhance the functionality of Micro Four Thirds Mirrorless cameras and lenses. This unit seamlessly transfers all functions between the camera and lens, ensuring optimal performance and precision.

For added versatility, matching lenses can be mounted in a reverse position on the bellows unit using an optional reduction ring. This unique feature allows for a broader range of photographic applications and creative possibilities.

Fully integrated into the NOVOFLEX adapter system, the BAL-MFT automatic bellows unit can be paired with a variety of lenses for specialized applications. This compatibility extends even to those who prefer manual lenses, as the automatic bellows unit fits seamlessly into the expansive NOVOFLEX modular system.

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. With the Schneider Kreuznach lens Apo Digitar 4.5/90, you can achieve 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 unit. This results in a tele-perspective in the close-up range and a longer working distance, ensuring no disturbance of the object and providing space for additional lighting.

Standard and wide-angle lenses can produce enlarged images for macro shooting, with magnifications 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 conclusion, the BAL-MFT automatic bellows unit is a versatile and essential tool for photographers seeking to expand their creative horizons and achieve professional-quality macro and photomicrography.
