Yashica Auto Extension Bellows
Bellows attachment for extreme close-ups and sequence close-up work or macrophotography. It enables use of the
automatic diaphram of the lens in general close-up photography. Moreover, focusing mechanism capable of moving
the whole bellows facilitates inching of shooting distance and secures precise focusing.
|
|
Yashica Macro Stand
This stand is used in conjunction with the auto extension bellows for effective macrophotography
of small subjects such as insects, flowers, postage stamps, coins or small machine parts.
Place the subject on the disk and fix it with the clamps. Rotate the disk to make shooting
at the desired position. Shooting method is the same as the auto extension bellows.

worth in close range photography where it is desired to change the lens-to-object continuously,
or when photographing micro samples.

Place a slide or B&W negative in the copier. Direct the camera to the light source and

depress the shutter. Slides can be duplicated in any desired number.

copy stand or for microphotography.
