Well-suited for extreme close-up shooting, this Macro Bellows from Fotodiox is designed for Sony E-mount cameras and lenses. This bellows has an adjustable 1.6-5.9" extension range, and is used to increase a lens's maximum magnification up to 8:1 for macro applications. A rack and pinion gear is used for smoothly adjusting the extension amount and a printed scale in millimeters helps to ensure consistent, repeatable settings. An integrated thumbscrew also lets you lock your position in place and suits working with heavier equipment or when shooting at a steep angle. The bellows frame is constructed from anodized aluminum-alloy and there is also an integrated 1/4"-20 socket for attaching directly to a tripod or quick release plate.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. How is the aperture controlled?

A: The following unit is a manual adapter, so lens functions that rely on electronic communication with the camera body (autofocus, AE metering, image stabilization, etc.) will be disrupted. 'Focus-By-Wire' lenses (such as Canon's STM or Nikons AF-P) requires power to engage the manual focus rings on the lens, since manual lens mount adapters do not power the lens, those lenses will not be able to focus. Set your exposure manually or meter using your camera's Aperture Priority (stop-down) mode. If your lens does not have a manual aperture control ring, the lens aperture will revert to its default position, which depending on the lens is either stopped down to its largest f-stop or opened up to its smallest f-stop.

Q: 2. I am hoping to attach my 1 Nikkor 10 - 30 lens to the macro bellows; is there an adapter for that lens that fits?

A: The FotodioX Macro Bellows for Nikon F will connect Nikon F mount for full frame, and APSC sensor DSLR cameras. Unfortunately, there are no adapters to connect your 1 NIKKOR VR 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6 PD-ZOOM to and F mount camera body.

Q: 3. I assume that RF means it has RF compatibility at both ends (lens and camera body)?

A: Yes FotodioX Macro Bellows for Canon RF accepts RF cameras and RF lenses.

Q: 4. Two questions: 1) is it necessary to use a lens designated as macro with this bellows and 2) if using a lens without a manual aperture ring (Nikon), it will stay wide open, is that right?

A: Question 1, no you don't need to use a macro specific lens with the bellows. Question 2, the bellows unit doesn't any sensors on it to connect with your camera, meaning everything is going to be manual. The rails on the unit do get in the way at times if you plan on using a ring flash.

Q: 5. camera won't recognize lens?

A: It might be you need to set the camera to take a photo without a lens in the menu. With many cameras you need to do that in order to use adapters like this bellows.

Q: 6. Will the FTZ adapter work on this?

A: You could mount Nikon F lenses on the FotodioX Macro Bellows for Nikon Z with the Nikon FTZ adapter. When the lens is on the bellows there is no communication between the camera and the lens. So it is best to use lenses with an aperture ring.

Q: 7. What's the maximum useable lens diameter? Everything I own takes a 77 mm filter.

A: The diameter has no bearing, the lens mounts to the bellows via the rear mount.

Q: 8. When it says minimum extension 1.6, does that mean the minimum distance between flanges?

A: Poor mount, Don't waste you're time!!

Q: 9. Is there any provision for setting the f/stop if this is used with current lenses without f/stop ring?

A: Unfortunately, a Pentax K mount lens would need to have an aperture ring in order to use the Fotodiox Macro Bellows properly.

Q: 10. Does it have tilt and shift like a 4x5?

A: No, it does not. The FotodioX Macro Bellows for Nikon F Mount Camera Systems is only designed for macro photography needs, and it does not offer any tilt/shift capabilities.
