AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This vintage Minolta Auto Bellows III is designed for macro photography (made in Japan).
It is compatible with Minolta camera bodies.
If you purchase a coupling piece, this extension piece for your camera could also be made suitable for mounting on a camera from another brand.
This item is virtually in new condition because there are no signs of use.
The box is also available, but without instructions.
With the precision focus knobs you can dial in the perfect focus to the millimeter by moving the front along the rails' metal support back and forth.
The adjustable bellows then moves smoothly with it, and the folds in the material show no tears anywhere.
The lens mount is the SR bayonet mount / MC-MD used to attach directly to Minolta's later X-series cameras. The bellows has on the camera side a rotating ring to secure the camera, enabling vertical photography.
The back of the bellows is equipped with a metal bayonet ring that corresponds to the Minolta SR mount.
There is also an SR bayonet at the front, onto which the taking lens (usually 50mm or 58mm) is mounted.
For the use of this bellows in combination with modern digital cameras, an extra adapter is needed.
The bag and box are carefully packed and insured, and sent to you.
You can also pick up the item in Amsterdam.
