AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The classic Leitz/Leica macro bellows for the historic bellows system (to be used with the Visoflex II or III mirror box or directly on digital cameras with Live View via dedicated rings) has a basic mechanical metal construction and variable extension. Main Technical Specifications (Leitz/Leica Macro Bellows)
• Accessory type: Extendable macro bellows for macro photography and close-range focusing.
• Camera mount: Leica M bayonet mount (historically via adapter or mounted in the Visoflex system).
• Lens mount: Threaded adapter ring.
• Extension travel: Variable from about 35 mm to over 130 mm (for high reproduction ratios above 1:1 depending on the lens used).
• Material: Die-cast metal and accordion-type fabric with anti-reflective rubber coating.
• Historical compatibility: Designed for use with Visoflex units (II / III) which act as a reflex mirror box to overcome the limits of the M rangefinder.
• Modern use: Usable on Leica M body cameras, both analog and digital.
