!SOLD! Olympus OM Auto Bellows

Post by abpho »

I have one Olympus OM Auto Bellows in excellent condition for sale.

The general sales pitch:
Front and back mounts are adjustable. Comes with focusing rail. It can be adapted to any camera brand. Canon, Nikon, Sony, Minolta, Olympus, etc camera bodies. Turn any lens into a macro lens. :D You just need to buy the specific adapters needed. Typically they go for $10-20 each through E-bay.

More info:
I was planning on getting a rare Olympus macro [20mm f/2] bellows lens but that fell through and now I need to sell this bellows.

It looks to be in good condition. No broken knows, bellows looks good, etc. The only issue I notices is that the aperture link sometimes gets stuck. Not sure if that is a problem for our uses. Most of us shoot with fixed or manual aperture lenses anyways.

I paid $140 for this. I thought it was a good deal. Typically people try to sell these in the $300 range. I would like to sell it for the same amount. I'll cover the cost of the shipping in North America. I'll provide the standard $100 insurance coverage. All other shipping arrangements will have to be discussed before the sale.

Open to suggestions. Thanks.

Oly bellows to Canon camera is easy, Oly bellows to Nikon camera isn't, as far as I know. I have a Nikon adapter on an Oly bellows I bought, but it's the only one I've seen. It's not very good, so if anyone knows a supplier I'd be interested!

At the front end I have to go via T2 or 49mm filter thread and an Oly reversing ring. Any alternatives?

Canon comes out ahead again.

Maybe if I throw in an 8x10" picture of a Mitutoyo 10x objective lens I will sell this bellows faster.

Hi,
I bought your bellows and am very happy with them. They are far superior to my Pentax bellows.
Happy New Year,
Bill
