Description — Pentax Auto-Bellows Set 6x7
The Pentax 67 Auto-Bellows Set 6x7 is a vintage macro bellows accessory manufactured during the 1970s, designed specifically for the Pentax 67 medium format camera system. It mounts via the Pentax 67 lens mount and is compatible with 120 film medium format, supporting the 6x7 frame. The unit accommodates a wide range of lenses, including interchangeable lenses, brand-specific lenses, third-party lenses, and M42 screw mount lenses, giving photographers flexibility in their close-up setups.
Operation is entirely manual focus, demanding a methodical approach well suited to the deliberate pace of medium format macro photography. The bellows weighs 1,200g, underscoring its solid, mechanical construction.
