Model Details

The Auto Bellows III is Minolta's high-end bellow and is the heart of an advanced close-up system. Swinging and shifting mechanisms of its lens standard can be used separately or together for unique effects that are observable through the view finder. Automatic diaphragm stop down and shutter release are by special series cable releases or exclusive stop-down-release button on the bellows. A detachable bellows for simplified lens reversing, rotating camera bayonet mount and lockable diaphragm stop-down button are some of the many other outstanding features of this very versatile bellows. The Auto Bellows III is also compatible with other Minolta bellows accessories such as Focusing Rail AB-III, Macro Stand AB-III, and Slide Copier AB-III.

Minolta MD (SR Mount)

Minolta introduced their manual focus lens mount in 1958 with the SR-2. The mount would be called a few things over its 40 year production run, including SR and ”Minolta Mount” but is now generally known as Minolta MD. There were four versions of the SR/MD lenses over the years, but all retained basic compatibility with each other. This gave Minolta MD bodies a huge library of lenses to choose from without worrying about the compatibility issues that plague some Nikon and Pentax cameras. Minolta lenses were some of the first to feature multiple coatings and benefited from Minolta producing and shaping their own optical glass, which was uncommon at the time.
