A set of three extension rings are intended for close-up photography and mount between the camera body and lens,
directly coupling with the ZE camera metering system and the lens automatic diaphragm. Three different lengths of
the rings can be used individuality or in combination.

This is an easy to operate, precision bellows type close-up attachment. Automatic aperture stop-down coupling is
possible using a double cable release. And the front standard can be swiveled 360, permitting simple reversing of the
lens for large magnification ratios with images that are sharp to the very edges.
Shift control also enables control of perspective. And the camera can also be rotated at the back for a choice of
vertical or horizontal format with easy operation. The focusing rail allows the entire bellows unit to be shifted back
and forth for sensitive adjustment of distance and focusing.

provided for copying film strips. The slide stage also moves vertically and horizontally for ; easier cropping of 35mm
slides.
8. Bellows Stand ZE
Used with the Auto Bellows, the Bellows Stand is used for copying small objects such as stamps, coins, insects, etc.
Clips are provided for holding subjects on the platform.. And the platform rotates for precise positioning. The
platform is also finished to provide 18% reflectance, convenient for measuring exposures. A clear glass platform is
also included for backlighting of subjects.
Precautions on Batteries
The Mamiya ZE-X has a built-in circuit that automatically gives a warning when battery power is running low. In this
case, the data display in the viewfinder flashes at the rate of 8 times per second when the shutter release button is
lightly pressed.
· The batteries should be replaced as quickly as possible, although several exposures can still be made. When the
batteries go completely dead, the viewfinder display will not light at all and the shutter will not be released.
· Batteries normally last for one year or more, but it is advisable to replace them once a year at least. Those who take
large numbers of photographs should replace the batteries more frequently. Always be on the lookout for the flashing
display warning.
