NOVOFLEX BAL-HAX – Automatic Macro Bellows for Hasselblad X. Take your macro photography to the next level with the NOVOFLEX BAL-HAX, an automatic bellows unit designed specifically for mirrorless cameras in the Hasselblad X-series (X1D, X2D, 907X, etc.). The BAL-HAX maintains full electronic communication between the camera and lens, enabling open-aperture metering (TTL) and automatic diaphragm control – even at extreme magnification levels.
- Full electronic transmission between camera and lens (TTL & auto diaphragm)
- Flexible use with lenses in both standard and reversed positions
- Part of the NOVOFLEX modular adapter system – compatible with a wide range of accessories
- Ideal for high-magnification macro work beyond 1:1 reproduction
Lenses can be mounted both in their standard or reversed orientation, giving you maximum creative flexibility. There’s no need for dedicated macro lenses – regular prime or zoom lenses can deliver excellent results. When reversed or paired with Hasselblad's macro lenses, even greater magnifications can be achieved.
Photographers who prefer using manual lenses will also benefit from the BAL-HAX, thanks to its integration into NOVOFLEX’s extensive modular system. It easily pairs with other NOVOFLEX components for custom setups.
