The versatility of the M bellows.

Hi Susie,

Well, I clearly see now that I don't have any of those 2 lenses :-(  which I have never seen before, what vintage? Do you have/use the "front Bellows" for your setup? I.e. the device which is inserted into the 2 holes under the Lens? Like in this Image.

I do have the Visioflex 3 though. I was contemplating using my Sony like the one in the Photo in the first Post in this Subject. I clearly need to get into this a bit more seriously, but I will be in Europe for the next 6 weeks, so it will be a while before I can get to it again.

I'm also curious as to what you all are using these Bellows for, such that I can figure out what else to use them for. Saw the below use in an article somewhere.

Many thanks for your insight.

The bellows attachment at the front is merely a lens hood to avoid light reflections hitting the front of the lens. I haven't got the bellows hood and  just use the normal Iufoo/12575 hood.  The Elmarits were made between 1959 and 1974.

As to what to take - anything small such as:

Talisman boardgame figures:
