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 ( º ). 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.
