Yes, In K mount there are three, although I don't think that there's
any real difference between the M and A versions.
The MZS manual says that Auto Bellows A

Hi William,
Theres about 8mm btw the lents mount outer edge and the
bottom edge of the protrusion-
It looks like you need about 10mm of clearance to be able to
mount
In practice, it all means that you would need a small extension tube (or set
of tubes) to use the Auto Bellows with the MZ-S.
The Auto Bellows allows for a minimum extension of about 37mm. Another 8 mm
would make that 45 mm. They provide a maximum extension of about 163 mm, and

That should do it. I figure the #1 tube from the Auto Extension

Pretty daft of Pentax designers if you ask me,
I wonder what else dosn't fit on this camera
don't they realise there are no 3rd party stuff for Pentax?
Maybe they figure that with the advent of long helicoid

It means that your bellows is going to be 10 mm farther away the film
plane
than it would be without the tube. In other words the bellows will stop
If anyone needs to use a small extension tube, note this:
the Pentax K tube set is cheaper than the KA, and the smallest
tube on the K set is smaller than the smallest tube on the KA
set. The K tubes do not couple aperature, but my guess is this
doesn't matter on a bellows.

Wouldn't I then from this and your previous comment
make my life so much easier by just buying a 100mm macro.
Got a fairly decent price but much much more than the bellows
but still within my price range? I can

Feroze,
It's your bellows, you rack
Is there more than one Pentax bellows?
The MZS manual says that Auto Bellows A
cannot be used with this camera. There is
one on a local auction site for ZAR600 (about U$D60)
He also has a LX, 3 Finders and a 55mm f1.8 lens plus filter
for ZAR 1500 (about USD150)
Are both these worth the price???
.
What will sell after the CLA for $400, the LX or the finders?

Good price for an Auto-bellows A. I would also like to know why it
does not fit the latest Pentax body.
Might not be rotatable due to the handgrip.

It looks like the MZ-S prism extends out past the lens mount.

I think K, M and A, but maybe only two. Very very similar. They look

The MZ-S camera body gets into the way with the
bellows. Insert an extension ring between bellows and
camera body.

So if he has the right one it should work, sides it'll work on my other
camera and I never seen anybody use AF on a macro shot anyway

How would the size of the image be affected by that
I know littla about the MZS, but what on earth would prevent Auto Bellows A
from being used with this camera?
