I've been using extension tubes for a number of years but decided I needed to move up to a good set of bellows for my macro work. I did my homework and found the Novoflex Auto Bellows. The build quality of these bellows is outstanding. The fit finish is flawless. I really enjoy using these bellows except for one, single problem. The electronics connection cable from the front to rear adapters is located in a really bad spot. It interferes with the adjustment knobs and almost blocks the remote trigger release on my EOS R5. I'm able to work around these issues, but I notice them every time I make an adjustment. How difficult is it to move the connection points to a different location on the adapters? I notice that adapters for other camera bodies don't seem to suffer from this design flaw, so I have to believe this can be rectified easily. Are these worth buying in spite of this issue? You betcha! In fact, I may buy the adapter for my new FujiFilm XT-5.
