FotodioX MACRO-BELLOWS-SNYE Reviews

Good to see if you like working with bellows

You can take some great images with this system. It's just a bit poorly manufactured and designed. Specifically the tripod mount. There are some mounting pieces on the bottom that I would say were afterthoughts to try and fix their poor design. basically, you can mount a tripod plate to the bottom with any confidence, the screw and plastic piece are horrendous. But for the $$$ it is not so bad. Experiment with this and definitely buy a better system later.

No power to the lens for focus or aperture changes

Its a bit more sturdy than youd expect for $40, but it doesnt transmit power to the lens.  This means you cant change focus on a focus-by-wire lens (like the Sony FE 90/2.8 G macro) and you cant change the aperture while the lens is attached to the bellows.  The only way to adjust these is to put the lens directly on a camera, adjust the aperture and focus, and then remove the lens WITHOUT TURNING THE CAMERA OFF.  The aperture will stay open and the focus point wont change when you put it back on the bellows.  From this point you can focus by moving the whole assembly away from or towards the subject until its in focus.  Focus stacking will probably require a separate macro rail because if you use the convenient worm gear on the bellows then the image size will change.

It might be you need to set the camera to take a photo without a lens in the menu. With many cameras you need to do that in order to use adapters like this bellows.
