If you get the auto bellows and want to mount it to a DSLR, make sure you also get a short extension tube as well. The short tube out of the auto extension tube set will do the trick. And, have a look for the 100mm bellows lens. I have the bellows Tak and it is very good, I'd like to get the bayonet one, but not at the prices that sellers seem to think they are worth at the moment.
