Novoflex BALPRO TS Overview

The Novoflex Balpro T/S tilt/shift bellows opens up completely new prospects for ambitious architecture and nature photographers. This bellow system rounds out Novoflex's comprehensive offering of high-end bellows. Following on the Novoflex Balpro 1 universal bellows, the Balpro T/S now provides a perfect tilt/shift bellows system for cameras up to a 6 x 7 cm format. This bellows system requires separately purchased lens head and camera adapters depending on which combination of camera and lens you are trying to use.

Universal, up to 6x7
The combination options are practically inexhaustible: virtually all 35mm and medium format lenses as well as special lenses can be used with nearly all 35mm and many medium format cameras up to 6x7cm.
Tilt & Shift functions
Standard adjustment is 26mm horizontally, the rotation 15° left and 15° right. Provides a tilt and shift function at the front and back of the bellows. In normal shooting position, you can take ideal photographs according to Scheimpflug. Turn the bellows by 90° to portrait format to compensate for converging lines.
Choice of lens heads
Novoflex offers three special lens heads (Componon S) by Schneider in Bad Kreuznach for the BALPRO 1 and BALPRO T/S bellows. These lens heads are flush-mounted permanently on the bellows:
  • Componon S 80mm f/4.0 for 35mm format
  • Componon S 100mm f/4.0 for 645 format
  • Componon S 150mm f/4.0 for 6x6 format
High-precision controls, attractive design and high-caliber manufacturing

question

Hello, can anyone please advise if this unit allows the camera to be pointed downwards (towards the ground), and then the back tilted so that the back is perpendicular to the ground (i.e. the back is in its usual position when shooting level)? I used this orientation years ago with a rented 4x5 view camera and it allows wonderful near-far perspective. Thank you very much.
Asked by: Chester
Yes, this gives you the ability to tilt the film plain. And help you get more in focus or less in focus depending on what you want to accomplish.

question

Will most modern full frame DSLR lenses work with this tilt shift bellows unit? I ask, because it seems the image circle of non-tilt shift lenses may not be large enough to cover the movements. Thanks!
Asked by: Bruce
Yes the BALPRO T/S Bellows can be used with most modern full frame DSLR lenses with the appropriate adapter.

Does this work in the same way as a view camera for still life photography?
Asked by: Bob
The BALPRO T/S Bellows would offer similar control to that of a view camera, but on a much smaller scale.
