They are excellent for clinical, nature, macro and micro photography and copying. A bellows is a must for anyone who wishes to extend his photographic capabilities.

The Novoflex Bellows Model l is so low-priced that no one can afford to be without it. Bellows plus 105 mm short-mount lens, for instance, will generally cost about the same as a 105 mm lens in focusing mount, but the bellows combination offers far more flexibility:

Close-up and macro photography, reproductions in any scale, frame-filling portraits and continuous focusing up to infinity, use of the universal bellows lens hood and the slide copying attachment etc. In spite of its low price, the Bellows model I is rugged and precise - built to high Novoflex standards throughout.

Non-interchangeable camera mounts. But these new model I bellows permit swivelling of the camera for view and upright pictures. The lens mount in front accepts camera's lenses. Consequently corresponding adapters (COLEI, EXLEI-K, NIKLEI-K, CANLEI-K, MINLEI-K) are required for use of lens heads with Leica threads.

Such as model S and II the bellows model I are ideal tools not only in macro and close-up phgtography, but also in telephotography where they perform as focusing mounts for lens heads up to 240 mm focal length (plus adapters COLEI etc.). Other accessories:

• Bellows Lens Hood BALSON
• Slide Copying Attachment BALCOP-P
• Focusing Tripod Rack CASTEL (Bellows Models I may be used with CASTEL in close-up and macro photography except slide-copying).
