Lens adapter Novoflex BAL-NEX

The Novoflex BAL-NEX automatic bellows unit provides a traditional solution for macro and photomicrography with Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. Designed for use with Sony E-mount cameras and lenses, the BAL-NEX transfers all camera-to-lens functions and integrates into the NOVOFLEX modular adapter system. Compatible lenses can also be mounted in reverse on the bellows using an optional reduction ring to extend close-focusing capabilities.

Advantages

The BAL-NEX preserves electronic communication between camera and lens while offering the extension range and precise focusing control of a bellows unit. It is fully compatible with the NOVOFLEX adapter ecosystem, enabling combinations with a wide range of accessories and other lens mounts. The unit’s construction supports stable, repeatable positioning for macro and photomicrography work.

How to use

Attach the BAL-NEX between a Sony E-mount camera body and an E-mount lens to obtain bellows-style extension while maintaining electronic connections. For reversed-lens macro, mount a matching lens in reverse on the front of the bellows using the optional reduction ring. Adjust bellows extension and camera focus to set the desired magnification and framing, and use stable support such as a tripod to prevent motion blur during close-up exposures.

Recommendations

For sharp macro and photomicrography results, use a sturdy tripod, enable mirrorless camera stabilization features if appropriate, and work with small aperture settings or focus stacking to increase depth of field. Use the optional NOVOFLEX reduction ring when reversing lenses for higher magnification.
