Well-suited for extreme close-up shooting, this Macro Bellows from Fotodiox is designed for Pentax K-mount cameras and lenses. This bellows has an adjustable 1.6-5.9" extension range, and is used to increase a lens's maximum magnification up to 8:1 for macro applications. A rack and pinion gear is used for smoothly adjusting the extension amount and a printed scale in millimeters helps to ensure consistent, repeatable settings. An integrated thumbscrew also lets you lock your position in place and suits working with heavier equipment or when shooting at a steep angle. The bellows frame is constructed from anodized aluminum-alloy and there is also an integrated 1/4"-20 socket for attaching directly to a tripod or quick release plate.

FotodioX MACRO-BELLOWS-PK Reviews
Works
Build quality isn't great. It tends to stick when being put on and taken off. Focus adjustment is rough and catches on occasion. For the price it works and I won't complain too much. Nice and cheap which is great for those that don't do macro work often.
NON-FUNCTIONAL
The bellows would not attach to the camera, rendering the unit non-functional. �The bellows mount was slightly too thick, preventing it from screwing on to the camera mount. �Another customer experienced the same problem and was able to remedy it by filing the mount. �B&H should discontinue selling this product until the manufacturer can demonstrate that it can produce a bellows that acts like one.
Mount too thick to fit on camera.
It is cheap, knew that when I ordered it so did not have high expectations. I did expect it to at least mount on the camera but that was not the case. Put it on, started to turn to lock it in place and it got extremely tight after only few degrees of rotation. After fiddling with it some, came to the conclusion that the K-mount ears were couple of thousands of an inch too thick. Since it was pretty inexpensive I decided not to return it and just file the ears down till it did fit. After about 10 minutes of filing, we were good to go. The front lens mount did not have an issue, operates very smooth and precise. Bought it to give macro a try without spending a lot of money, it is great for that, if I decide to advance then I will invest in something of higher quality.
Excellent item.
Very good, light and also rugged bellow.
A great device for close up photography
With very little preparation I was ready to take very close shots
Great results for the price
I purchased this to expand on my macro photography and wasnt disappointed. Admittedly the build quality is not the greatest, the camera mount is a little stiff, but a bit of a test gave me a x3.7 magnification with a fifty mm prime lens.
