Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. I have just hooked on a 50mm EF 1:1.4 lens to the bellows and will not come off. Is there a special way to take the lens of?

A: The small metal button should be pushed towards the bellows and the camera, not towards the center of the circle.

Q: 2. What other parts do I need to use the bellows on my Nikon D5300 camera?

A: The FotodioX Macro Bellows for Nikon F Mount Camera Systems, B&H # FOMBNFMCS, would connect directly to the Nikon D5300 DSLR camera, and the lens would connect directly to the front of the bellows. The only other item you would need would be a tripod to mount the setup on the tripod for usage. Do note that you will have to use the camera in full manual mode when using the bellows system on your camera.

Q: 3. The person who left a review for this product said he could not connect his 105mm macro, what is the reason for this ?

A: This is old school macro. I would not use this with a macro (micro in Nikon terms) lens. It is intended to be used with a fixed focus standard lens such as 50mm for example. Nikon used to make these before they started making dedicated micro lenses. The bellows allows for the standard lens to be run further out from the film (sic) plane and thus magnify the image. All coupling to the body will be lost thus electronic diaphragms are disconnected. All lenses that precede the G series should be OK because you can manually set the aperture. I suspect setting exposure entails some Kentucky windage along with trial and error. G series lenses would have to be set based on a wide open aperture and just live with the reduced depth of field.

Q: 4. Can these bellows be mounted to a tripod head?

A: Yes the FotodioX Macro Bellows has a standard 1/4-20 tripod socket for mounting on a tripod.

Q: 5. How will the Macro-Bellows work with an old Nikkor 28mm and my Nikon D7200?

Q: 6. Is this compatible with the pentax K1

A: As the K1 has the standard Pentax K-Mount, it should be compatible. It will, however, only work in Manual mode.

Q: 7. Is there any provision for setting the f/stop if this is used with current lenses without f/stop ring?

A: Unfortunately, a Pentax K mount lens would need to have an aperture ring in order to use the Fotodiox Macro Bellows properly.

Q: 8. I am hoping to attach my 1 Nikkor 10 - 30 lens to the macro bellows; is there an adapter for that lens that fits?

A: The FotodioX Macro Bellows for Nikon F will connect Nikon F mount for full frame, and APSC sensor DSLR cameras. Unfortunately, there are no adapters to connect your 1 NIKKOR VR 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6 PD-ZOOM to and F mount camera body.

Q: 10. camera won't recognize lens?
