Novoflex has shown two new
products that are definitely of interest to Leica owners. Products for close and macro photography have
long been a specialty of Novoflex. They
have now expanded their product range with a reversing adapter for the Leica
L-Mount (Leica, Panasonic, Sigma).
Most standard lenses, when
used for macro photography will show a noticeable increase in performance when mounted
to the camera in a reversed position.
These new reversing adapters
allow magnification greater than with most macro lenses with fixed focal
lengths as well as most zoom lenses. The
new adapters maintain all functions between camera and lens. They come with a
standard 58 mm filter thread. For lenses with filter diameters from 37 mm to 82
mm, adapters are available. A
high-quality, multi-layered protection filter made by Heliopan to protect the
sensitive lens rear lens is also available.
The ‘Umkehradapter’ is
availabl;e for 349 euros.
Bellows have been part of
Novoflex since 1969. Owners of a Leica SL and other L-mount cameras are now
able to take advantage of a new automatic bellows.
All control information
between camera and lens are maintained.
Even with standard camera lenses reproduction ratios of 1:1 and larger
can be achieved. In addition, Novoflex recommends
the high-resolution, apochromatically corrected Apo Digitar 4.5 / 90 mm lens
head from Schneider Kreuznach, which allows focusing from 1: 1 to infinity.
The lenses can also be
used in retro position on the bellows with the automatic reversing adapter offered by Novoflex.
The automatic bellows is799
euros. The FLEX-APO-DIGI 4,5 / 90 is available for € 1,099.
