I use it on a Leitz bellows R and it must be manually opened to focus and stopped down to expose. I use it mostly on Aperture Priority on a R-4 and it works well. There is a lever for aperture control but no cams of any kind since this lens will not mount on a body but is for bellows use only. Is your lens a "short mount" like this or is it the 100mm that has a focusing ring and can be used directly on a body? I am not familiar with the Novoflex bellows, but most bellows are not coupled to the lens and require manual stop down or a double cable release. You should be able to use Aperture priority on most bellows if you stop the lens down before releasing the shutter. If you need a cam added, there were several posts to the LUG today on this topic.
