∙BELLOWS UNIT I

Extremely flexible for ultra-close-up photography, the Bellows I permits use of the camera's own lens. Provided with a special precision-calibrated gear shaft for reading continuous magnification from 0.62 to 2.45 with the standard 55mm lens.

∙AUTO BELLOWS & SLIDE COPIER

The Asahi Pentax Auto-Bellows is a highly flexible close-up and macro-photographic instrument. The bellows extension is longer than the extension of the standard Bellows Unit. The Auto-Bellows is more versatile. With the double cable release supplied with the Auto-Bellows, you release the shutter and activate the automatic diaphragm simultaneously if you use a fully automatic diaphragm lens. With its lens reverse system, you can use a lens in reversed position for higher macro resolution.

The geared rail of the Auto-Bellows is meticulously engineered with high precision. The freely movable tripod seat underneath the rail rod maintains the whole equipment on tripod in complete balance. Micro-action extension knobs are equipped on the camera body and lens sides for precise bellows extension.

The Slide Copier attaches to the front end of the Auto-Bellows for easy duplication of color films

With the Bellows-Takumar 100mm f/4 lens, you can photograph from 1.32X magnification to infinity ( ∞ ). You easily obtain high magnification with a 28mm to 35mm lens. By adding the standard Bellows Unit or Extension Tubes to the front or back of the Auto-Bellows, you can reach 10X to 20X magnification.

The Asahi Pentax Auto Bellows is a precisely designed close- up and macro equipment for professional photographers, research workers, scientists and specialists in close-up and macro works.
