FotodioX NKZ-MCR-BLW Reviews

Well Made, and working w/ Negative scanning proj - One Hint:

This bellows is great. It is well made, and seems to handle some pretty heavy lenses on a focus rail, on a mini-tripod - so it allows for decent balance Here's the hint - the lens release slides back towards the camera body, instead of a press-in like most mounts. This caused me a few minutes of consternation, because I'm not smart. I am attaching 50 mm and 105 mm lenses, and also attaching a developer lens for negative shooting & potentially some 1970's large format lenses using step rings. This works well. I have experimented with using this for very close focus macro photography stacks - but I'm having issues with a paper thin plane of focus, so will need to keep trying. More light should make those projects work. All in all, I think this fits the bill. I expect you will as well.

Very nice bellows for Macro

The FotodioX Macro Bellows for Nikon Z fit my Z5 well. I use my FTX to attach a 50mm F-mount and I had what I was looking for. The bellows allowed me to adjust magnification and composition more easily than my extension tubes. A great tool.

Asked by: Ray
You could mount Nikon F lenses on the FotodioX Macro Bellows for Nikon Z with the Nikon FTZ adapter. When the lens is on the bellows there is no communication between the camera and the lens. So it is best to use lenses with an aperture ring.

How is the aperture controlled?

How is the aperture controlled?
Asked by: David
The following unit is a manual adapter, so lens functions that rely on electronic communication with the camera body (autofocus, AE metering, image stabilization, etc.) will be disrupted. 'Focus-By-Wire' lenses (such as Canon's STM or Nikons AF-P) requires power to engage the manual focus rings on the lens, since manual lens mount adapters do not power the lens, those lenses will not be able to focus. Set your exposure manually or meter using your camera's Aperture Priority (stop-down) mode. If your lens does not have a manual aperture control ring, the lens aperture will revert to its default position, which depending on the lens is either stopped down to its largest f-stop or opened up to its smallest f-stop.
