Novoflex Autom. Bellows for Sony E-Mount

The classic way to macro and micro photography is via the bellows. The fully automatic bellows device BAL-NEX was specially developed for use with the mirrorless cameras with Sony E-Mount and lenses and transfers all functions between camera and lens. Suitable lenses can even be attached to the bellows in retro position using an optionally available reduction ring.

The BAL-NEX automatic bellows unit is of course fully integrated into the NOVOFLEX adapter system and can also be used with other lenses for special applications.

Every photographer is free to choose which lens to use on the automatic bellows unit. However, those who rely on the best possible image quality will be happy with the FLEX-APO-DIGI90 (not included). This is a high-resolution and apochromatically corrected lens head. In addition to the excellent image quality, this optic offers an amazingly large focusing range, which extends from an image scale of 1:1 to infinity.

Even if you prefer to work with manual lenses, you don't have to do without the NOVOFLEX automatic bellows unit, because as usual with NOVOFLEX, the automatic bellows fits into the large NOVOFLEX modular system and can be combined with all kinds of NOVOFLEX accessories.

Boom extension: min. 29 mm, max. 116 mm

Function and task of a bellows unit in general:

• Stepless extension = distance between sensor plane and lens (= image width); thus a continuous approach to small objects in order to be able to photograph them image-filling.
• Tele lenses can be focussed much closer than their closest focusing distance (without bellows); thus telephoto perspective at close range and above all long working distance (no disturbance of the object, room for additional lighting).
• Images enlarged with standard and special wide-angle lenses (from the camera range) = macro shots; over 1:1 up to approx. 7:1
• On the tripod: an optional adjustment slide (not supplied) is used for focusing without moving the bellows extension (= image width) or the tripod; i.e. the focus zone can be shifted while the magnification remains constant
