PRODUCT INFORMATION
Optional accessory: ASTAT NEX
NOVOFLE X offers a large variety of high precise fine mechanic adapters to connect lenses and cameras of different manufacturers. With all adapters and/or adapter combinations infinity adjustment of the lens is possible. None of the adapters will transfer any function from the camera body to the lens. With almost all cameras automatic exposure metering (stop-down metering/aperture priority) is possible. All adapters are machined high precisely to ensure the correction of the flange focal length differences. The adapter models MFT/NIK, MFT/MIN-AF, MFT/PENT, NEX/NIK, NEX/MIN-AF, NEX/PENT, NX/NIK,NX/MIN-AF, NX/PENT and EOS/NIK NT (for Nikon, Sony Alpha / Minolta AF and Pentax K lenses) are equipped additionally with a stepless f-stop control ring and can therefore be used with lenses that do not come with a built-in manual aperture control ring.

When mounting long or heavy lenses to Sony NEX cameras, we recommend the use of the adapter collar ASTAT-NEX to relieve the strain from the camera body thread. The ASTAT-NEX can be mounted on any 1/4“ and 3/8“ thread or to the NOVOFLEX Q dovetail quick release system (Arca compatible). Please note that due to technical reasons only certain camera-lens combinations are possible. See page 2 for the most common adaptions.

PRODUcT INFORMATION
BALL NQ | BALL 30 | BALL 40 The Novoflex Ball NQ ball head is a classic ball-and-socket head that‘s designed for ultimate precision and stability. The Ball NQ is intended for studio or outdoor photography – its corrosion-free materials ensure that it will survive any elemental rigors. The low-profile head measures only 3.1“ high yet supports loads up to 15.5 lb.The easy-to-move ball permits a 360° rotation. The ball can be locked in any desired position by means of a winged screw. An integrated level helps to align the camera precisely in the right position. A peculiarity is the lubricant- free seat of the ball, which prevents fast retention. Furthermore, the corrosion-free materials make the universally applicable tripod head a true outdoor tool. The ball head is equipped with a camera quick-release Q-Mount. The two ball heads 30 and 40 (BALL 30 / BALL 40) easily prove their stability and high precision. The pan rotation over 360° is locked with a knob. The ball head 30 (BALL 30) holds equipment up to 5 kg / 11 lbs, the ball head 40 (BALL 40) up to 10 kg / 22 lbs without any problems. Characteristic is the grease-free operation of the ball, which eliminates problems with dust and dirt. Noncorrosive materials make both balls genuine outdoor products. The ball heads 30 and 40 (BALL 30 / BALL 40) are the ideal addition to the NOVOFLEX universal clamps (UNIKLEM) and the NOVOFLEX mini tripod (BASIC BALL). TECHNIcal specifications

TOP TIP
Use a CASTEL-Q focusing rack and Q=BASE mounting plates for transverse camera adjustment. Cameras with a tripod connection on the side can be precisely positioned in this way. This speeds up work enormously when selecting the picture area to be copied because otherwise the whole tripod would have to be set up again. PRODUCT INFORMATION
The technology transition from analog to digital is influencing the way existing slides and negatives are handled and archived. An ideal solution is now available with the CASTEL-COP-DIGI slide duplicator from NOVOFLEX that allows fast and easy digitalization of your originals, from 35 mm up to 6 x 7 cm medium format. The digital slide duplicator is designed to be used with the NOVOFLEX Castel-L/Castel-Q/Castel-mini focusing racks, plus most of the current NOVOFLEX bellows with rack-and-pinion drive. This duplicating method is especially recommended if larger quantities of negatives or slides need to be digitized quickly with a digital camera. The high quality of today‘s digital cameras ensures first-rate results in double quick time and many users prefer this method to scanning with a slide scanner. The digital slide duplicator reliably positions framed 35 mm or medium-format slides or film strips. The NOVOFLEX slide duplicator can be used without any problems with macro lenses up to 105 mm. What are the advantages of digital copies over scanning? The higher the resolution of your digital camera, the better will be the final result. Conventional scanners often lack the quality of digital SRL cameras, and scanning are often takes considerably longer than shooting with a camera.

THE APPLICATION
One glance at the ClassicBall, with its understated matt titanium finish, and it‘s clear that this is a high-precision instrument made to last. In line with NOVOFLEX‘s well-known product policy, the ClassicBall is an all-metal design incorporating advanced polymer materials. As with other NOVOFLEX products, the ClassicBall was developed and is manufactured entirely at the company‘s plant in Memmingen (precision made in Germany). Completely new, and a world first in ball head design, are three 90° openings to take the ball neck that significantly increase the vertical adjustment range of the head. The camera can now swing smoothly through 180° vertically. Equally important is that having three 90° openings has been achieved with no loss of stability. Working on the ClassicBall 5, NOVOFLEX development engineers aimed first and foremost to meet photographers‘ requirement for a precisely controllable and repeatable friction adjustment (braking) for the ball. The result was the new AFC (advanced friction adjustment). Integrated here for the first time, AFC allows photographers to set the friction on a setting ring in the center of the ball head. In other words, they can set the correct braking rate of the ball even before he attaches camera and lens. This is finally the end of trial and error adjustment. Getting the right setting is now child‘s play, even with weighty telephoto lenses. In contrast to other ball heads of this type, the ClassicBall makes it possible to lock the ball in position without any risk of even a slight shift in position. This feature comes into its own in macro photography where it is essential not to disturb the setting of a shot. As one would expect from a product of this caliber, the ClassicBall provides integrated 360° panning and two camera threads (1/4“ and 3/8“). The ball support is permanently grease-free. All adjusting elements have been optimized for easy operation even under very difficult conditions. Photographers working in very low temperatures, for example, can set and check all functions reliably without removing their gloves. In designing the ClassicBall, NOVOFLEX engineers drew on practical experience and their deep knowledge of the problems encountered by professional photographers in their daily work. The company has gone to great lengths to achieve high stability and excellent resistance to vibration.

With its low weight, sensitive friction brake and integrated 360° panorama adjustment, the D IN O represents another milestone in the development of modern movable tilt heads. It‘s ideal for mounting spotting scope and telescopes – or any type of digital or analog video, film or photo camera. Horizontal and vertical panning are silky-smooth. After a precision stop, the D IN O is fixed firmly with a twist of the control knob. The guide lever makes fast positioning easy. Video filmers and macro specialists, in particular, will be delighted by the fantastic adjustability. The D IN O is used by thousands of birdwatchers. Panning the D IN O vertically by 90° is a quick way to switch a camera from portrait to landscape format. And lenses with a multi-position tripod mount turn this innovative 2-way tilt head into a 3-way tilt head. D IN O is available in either titan or silver finish and is supplied with a detachable guide lever and video pin.

TOP TIP
For extreme enlarging we recommend the use of the NOVOFLEX BALPRO 1 universal bellows together with the reversing ring for CANON EOS. This combination not only includes an automatic bellows for the CANON EOS, but also lets you use the camera lens in reverse position with full automatic control of the bellows. The image ratio of the EF 1.8/28 mm in reverse position on the BALPRO 1 ranges from 3.6- to 7.2-fold enlargement.
PRODUCT INFORMATION
For owners of CANON EOS wide-angle or zoom lenses, the EOS-RETRO opens up the world of extreme close-up photography with outstanding quality. The EOS-RETRO lets you mount the lens in reverse position on the camera. The ring transfers all control functions. With a CANON EOS 28-105 mm zoom lens in reverse position, you get an image ratio of 1:7 with a focal length of 105 mm from 1:7 to 2.8:1 at 28 mm. This is a wider setting range than is possible with a macro lens. The EOS-RETRO is supplied standard with a 58 mm filter diameter. Stepping rings are available for other filter sizes.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
FLASH-GRIFF. Mounted on the newly-developed camera base plate, the grip offers a convenient method for positioning one of today’s large flash units either by screwing it directly to the ball head or sliding it into the flash shoe on the tilt head. Flexible flash alignment and a hand strap that lets you keep a firm hold on the whole unit are two of the grip’s outstanding features. The grip can be unscrewed from the base plate and stowed away during transport.
XX-HALTER. This Duo-Flash holder for optimal positioning of two flash units is the outcome of extensive testing and many years’ experience. The Duo-Flash holder does away with earlier compromises between fast handling and compact design. Now positioning of the two flash units is completely flexible and adjustment is lightning fast. The camera base plate is attached to the underside of the camera, the vario system supports two ball heads with flash shoes, and can be rotated and shifted freely. Because a ball head can be mounted virtually anywhere along the rails, a vast number of different flash positions is possible. And the whole system is quick and easy to reconfigure. The flexible design means the Duo-Flash holder can be dismantled very quickly; the resultant small package fits into most camera bags.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
The MagicBall ball head series is yet another example of NOVOFLEX‘s outstanding ability to develop innovative and practical accessories. There are three models in the MagicBall series – for different camera configurations with total weight from 5 to 10 kg. The ball heads provide an unbelievable positioning range of 120° in virtually any plane. All three models are easy to handle and compatible with practically any tripod. Part of the secret is the large, grippy point-and-fix handle. The handle is used to position the MagicBall exactly, then a simple twist fixes it firmly in place. On the larger models, designed for heavier equipment, adjustment is made easier by an integrated friction setting. This variable friction setting lets you match the camera weight to the adjusting force. The outstanding design and use of only the finest materials blocks any vibration transfer. The knurled wheel makes for simple and safe camera mounting.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
MiniConnect This elegant quick-release connection system offers outstanding stability. It is robust enough to take very heavy cameras and lenses. The ingenious design permits single-handed operation, because the connectors lock automatically on insertion. A dual safety system prevents accidental loosening or detaching. The round connectors are extremely small and have a low profile, so they can be left permanently attached to the tripod connections of cameras or lenses. A range of six connectors for different equipment and applications, plus an angle bracket and a special carrying strap, round off the MiniConnect product range. TECHNICAL DATA

MiniConnect MiniConnect strap The webbed strap is easy and comfortable to wear. Attach a quick-release connection system to hang around your neck or over your shoulder instead of a conventional camera strap. You can attach any of several cameras to it and quickly transfer the camera to a tripod with no camera strap to get in the way. Another benefit is that the camera hangs with the lens pointing downwards – a safer way to carry than using a conventional strap. You have both hands free to change the film, or modify the settings on a digital camera, and you don‘t need to take the camera off to do it. The camera can be detached from the strap with one quick movement. Order code:

Q=Mount Mini PRODUCT INFORMATION
With the quick releases of the Q=System cameras can be mounted easily and safely at any tripod or ball head with 1/4“ or 3/8“ thread. The Q=System was designed with special emphasis on easy handling and compact dimensions. The automatic Q=BASE allows locking the camera plate with a simple click. The position can then be adjusted individually. A simple turn of the silver colored ring locks the plate safely. Designed for even heaviest equipment. There is also a safety pin as an extra safeguard to prevent the camera plate from sliding out inadvertently. A large variety of camera plates (Q=Plates) is available in almost any size to support different types of photo and video equipment. The Q=System is also compatible with plates of many third-party manufacturers (Arca style dovetail). However, the safety pin function is only available while using original NOVOFLEX Q=Plates. The manual quick release Q=MOUNT complements the Q=System. The round shaped design is a perfect combination of form and function. Extremly fast clamping is guaranteed by the high precise double thread locking mechanism. A simple turn and the plate is locked in place. Like the Q=BASE, also the Q=MOUNT features a safety pin to prevent the camera plate from sliding out accidentally, if the locking knob is not turned completely. The Q=MOUNT MINI is equipped with the same features and advantages as the Q=MOUNT. Its slim design fits perfectly i.e. bodies of cameras without mirror or point-and-shoot cameras. Highly recommended for use with QPL Slim mounting plates. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

_ PRODUCT INFORMATION
The tilt/shift bellows rounds out NOVOFLEX‘s comprehensive offering of high-end bellows. Following on the NOVOFLEX BALPRO 1 universal bellows, the BALPRO T/S provides a perfect tilt/shift bellows system for cameras up to a 6 x 7 cm format. The tilt and shift functions are just what professional photographers have been waiting for. The combination options are practically inexhaustible: virtually all 35 mm and medium-format lenses as well as special lenses can be used with nearly all 35 mm and many medium format cameras up to 6 x 7 cm. Canon EOS systems even support full transfer of all data between camera and original lens via a special accessory. High-precision controls, an attractive design and high-calibre manufacturing make this the perfect macro add-on. The NOVOFLEX BALPRO T/S provides a tilt and shift function at the front and back of the bellows; the standard adjustment is 26 mm horizontally, the rotation 15° left and 15° right. In normal shooting position, you can take ideal photographs according to Scheimpflug. Turn the bellows by 90° to portrait format to compensate for converging lines. NOVOFLEX offers two special lens heads (APO DIGITAR) by Schneider in Bad Kreuznach, which are optimized for digital cameras. These lens heads are flush-mounted permanently on the bellows. 2 focal lengths are available:
SCHNEIDER Apo-Digitar 4,0/80 mm SCHNEIDER Apo-Digitar 5,6/100 mm
Order code: | PRO-APO-DIGI 80 Order code: | PRO-APO-DIGI 100
The lenses allow adjustment to infinity with all cameras. 35mm SLR cameras require the 80 mm lens head, the Mamiya 645 the 100 mm lens head. The setting for 35 mm cameras ranges from infinity to 1.8x enlargement.

product information
NOVOFLEX universal clamps are as helpful as a third hand and the ideal accessories for studio and nature photography. Use them to fix items safely and securely to things like panels, doors, tables, windows, pipes, branches, fences, ladders or tripod legs. Use them when you have no tripod to hand or when space is too tight to use one. The clamps also make excellent car window tripods. All three clamps provide a screw-on fitting, offset at 90°, for ball heads, cameras, lights, flash units and accessories. They can be attached to bikes, canoes or sailing boats, making them indispensable in sports photography. The universal clamps do an equally good job in non-photographic situations. For example, two clamps combined with a Ball 19 can be used to position and fix light barriers or torches. In product photography, a MicroPod, Ball 19 and universal clamp combine to form a flexible helper for positioning light panels, plates or objects.

PANORAMA
NOVOFLEX
VR-System II VR-System 6/8 VR-System PRO II
Panorama (Greek) the panorama, unbroken view of an entire surrounding area.
Create images beyond the limits of vision or format! Start shooting at the point where the scene begins and finish where the scene ends or just r eproduce a complete space around you! Perspective limits, which once were set by the technology of your camera or your lenses, no longer exist – now it is your challenge as a photographer!
NOVOFLEX Präzisionstechnik GmbH, Brahmsstraße 7 87700 Memmingen Germany phone +49 8331 88 888 fax +49 8331 47 174 mail@novoflex.de www.novoflex.de Panorama photography: Jan Röpenack
Know-how
Entrance pupil = turning point
Toolbox: Novoflex Panorama VR System II, Canon EOS 40D with EF-17-40/4 USM at 40 mm, cylindrical projection, horizontal field of view approx. 120°
With the stitching technique, several pictures are taken one after another, with the camera being rotated around a specific angle each time. Then, all pictures are merged together with a stitching software, e.g. Panorama Studio, into a complete panoramic image.
Why do I need a panorama head? (1)
The panorama head enables the rotation of the system around the centre of the entrance pupil (1) of the lens, also called the “nodal point” or “optical centre”. By doing this, shifting of the foreground in relation to the background is avoided which is of vital importance for the completion of the individual images. Only by rotating around the nodal point the stitching software can work accurately, which guarantees optimal results.
Wrong
Right NOVOFLEX ClassicBall 5 (not included in the scope of delivery)
How to locate the entrance pupil?
Turn to the right without panorama head The foreground (flower) moves to the left towards the background (mountain). This will cause problems when assembling the panorama. Turn to the right with panorama head The foreground (flower) stays properly positioned with the background (mountain). This is the requirement for accurate stitching of the panorama.
Quite simple - by trial and error! To each Novoflex panorama head a detailed operating manual is attached. We recommend that you note the values you have found for each lens for later shooting. Exact scales on the plates and the focusing rack guarantee quick and efficient adjustment of the panorama head before shooting.
Advice:
With wide-angle lenses, the entrance pupil is usually located some millimetres behind the front lens towards the camera. With normal or tele lenses, the entrance pupil moves backwards as the focal length increases.
The Classic: VR-System II
Toolbox: Novoflex Panorama VR System II, CANON EOS 40D with EF-S 17-85/4-5.6 IS USM at 17 mm, 9 images, cylindrical projection, horizontal field of view 360°.
Application:
Suitable for single row cylinderical or flat panoramas. Depending on camera and lenses, field of view up to 360° horizontally and 120° vertically are possible. Recommended lenses: Wide-angle lenses with minimum 10 mm focal distance, standard zooms up to tele lenses up to 135 mm focal length.
New in release II:
The panorama plate is now equipped with the Q dove-tail clamp. The system is easily seperated into several pieces for transport and the focusing rack is ready for other photographic tasks.
Advantages:
• Simple, handy system • The individual parts can be used for other tasks as well • All-in-one solution: Apart from the hardware, the stitching software PanoramaStudio is also included (unlimited full version).
NOVOFLEX ClassicBall 3 (not included in the scope of delivery)
For whom?
The new panorama VR-System II was developed for the photographer, who prefers the classic, single row cylindrical or flat panorama and who appreciates the simple and handy design of the system. It is of special interest for nature photographers doing panoramic shooting as well as macro and landscape photography, using the focusing rack and L bracket for other tasks, too.
Advice:
We recommend to keep the constancy of aperture, exposure time, white balance and focus during the whole shooting.
The Specialist: VR-System 6/8 Toolbox: Cubic reproduction of a panorama with 360° x 180° field of view. Novoflex Panorama VR System 6/8, CANON EOS 450D with Sigma 8 / 3.5 Fisheye, 6 images.
Details:
Advice:
To avoid lens flares if you want to include the sun in the panorama: Center the first image as precisely as possible directly into the sun. The sun should not appear again in the next images. Always use a lens hood! A low sun position is very helpful if you are taking pictures within a horizontally aligned row.
The upper panorama base slides in the guide rail of the L-bracket, making additional adjustments of the base unnecessary when changing the height. Both bases are equipped with click-stops and include a space-saving built-in spirit-level. The locking screws are removable if needed.

The Panorama VR-System 6/8 is the solution for photographers specialised in spherical panoramas for internet applications, virtual tours etc. The utilisation of a fisheye lens reduces the number of required images for a complete spherical panorama (360° x 180°) to three to eight images (depending on the focal distance and the crop factor). Thus, a high-quality result can be achieved quickly and efficiently.
Optimised for fisheye lenses the new VR-System 6/8 enables horizontal and vertical rotation around the nodal point of the lens with two click-stop-panorama bases. Increments of 45° and 60° each, as well as stepless rotation can be set up. If the images are taken at every second click-stop, additional increments of 90° and 120° are possible. The system is sized to allow a complete vertical rotation of the camera. Each panning base is construced very small and equipped with an integrated spirit-level, so it doesn´t intrude into the picture. Thanks to the milled-out portion of the L-bracket the spirit-level can be seen from above. The front locking screw can be removed and is only needed in case of stepless adjustment. Due to its size and stability of the head a professional D-SLR camera can be used.
The professional allrounder: VR-System PRO II
Toolbox: Tele panorama Novoflex VR-System PRO II, 10° steps (increment selector at position 36), vertical downtilt of 10°, CANON EOS 5D with EF 135/2.0 L USM, 17 images, 110MP.
Application:
The VR-System PRO II enables the parallax-free, horizontal and vertical pivoting around the nodal point of the lens. It is designed for multi-row panoramas in perspective-corrected flat or spherical projection. Due to the lower p anorama base that can be moved in eight adjustable increments, classic single-row cylinder panoramas can easily be done as well. Comfort, stability and precision are the main features of this professional panoramic head.
New in release II:
The upper panorama base is now equipped with click-stops for two selectable increments (45° and 60°). The L-bracket was enlarged and stabilised. The upper clamping plate was also lenghtened and includes a movable anti-twist camera stop.
For whom?
The Panorama VR-System PRO II is the perfect solution for professional photographers dealing with all facets of panoramic photography. The VR-System PRO II masters all varieties from spherical panorama, perspective-corrected flat panoramas or classic cylindrical panoramas, even when heavy professional DSLR equipment is used.

Advice:
Use a remote-control release and the mirror-up exposure or LiveView of your camera!
Example 1
Spherical panorama without fisheye: 16 images in 3 layers with a „normal“ 17 mm wide-angle lens and a full-format camera create a cubical, respectively spherical p anorama covering the complete space (360° x 180°) in enormous resolution.
Example 2
There is an easy panoramic solution for the problem of “convergent lines in the field of architectural photography“. Simulate a digital shift lens, e.g. as in this case with a 19 mm focal length by using software! Due to the multiple individual images you get resolutions that are higher than those of digital backs.

Types of projection Cylindrical projection (ideal for wide field of view)
On the right photo you see the most common projection type, the cylindrical projection. The advantage here is that you can also create panoramas with a large horizontal field of view up to 360°. Imagine yourself standing in the centre of a cylinder looking at the surface from inside. Reproducing a cylindrical panorama on a flat surface, e.g. as a print, horizontal lines, except the horizon itself, will appear curved and even more so the further they are away from the horizon. With wider fields of view this is clearly visible – refer to the p hoto of the Brandenburger Tor.
Cylindrical projection (200°, horizontal field of view, curved lines)
Flat projection (The habitual perspective)
In the case of smaller field of views the alternative is flat projection, where bending of lines is avoided. In this type of reproduction a classic wide-angle or super wide-angle on a “normal“ camera is digitally simulated. In case of an extreme wide field of view, however, distortions of objects at the image borders show the socalled “super wide-angle effect“. This is not a fault of the lens, but reflects the natural reproduction with a very wide optic. With flat projections only a picture perspective of less than 180° can be reproduced. The reason is that on flat surfaces only objects can be reproduced that are in front, but not that are positioned behind or b eside the camera can be captured.
Flat projection (140°, horizontal field of view, straight lines, wide-angle distortion at the picture border)
Spherical projection For the whole space!
For panoramas that reproduce the whole space of 360° x 180°, spherical or cubical projections are the first choice. These panoramas are mostly used for internet presentations rather than for print. They are integrated into the website with Java, Flash or Quicktime players. The visitor can move interactively in the panorama, seeing just a part in the flat into that he is used to. Several examples are presented on the internet at www.pixelrama.de Which projection type should be used? This decision depends on the field of view, the scene and your own choice. By the way: You do not need to make this decision when taking the pictures. This can be made later on at your computer, where you can compare the different variants. Generally speaking, the following is recommended: Small field of view = flat projection Wide field of view = cylindrical or spherical projection.
