Manufacturer description
This is a bellows type unit similar in function to the auto extension tube set, but allowing more flexibility and a greater degree of magnification. Mounted with the 55 mm lens the bellows unit is able to achieve 3.3 x magnification. The prime lens can also be turned around and mounted in the reverse position for optimum corner-to-corner resolution at close distances.
The lens automatic diaphragm is operated by a dual cable release with the bellows attached, and the entire unit can be focused without losing magnification when the focusing rail accessory is used.
Used with the bellows unit, the slide copying attachment is mounted in front of the lens to allow the photographer to copy slides and film strips. It has a slide stage that moves in any direction to make it easy to crop slides for better composition and a removable film tray to facilitate copying long rolls of 35 mm film.
