Jason,
I'm using automatic, not manual on the Super Program with Bellows.
For manual, you will need to stop the lens down to do the metering.
Otherwise, you have been taking pictures at open aperture.

Hey, those are some nice CRISP pics! (and correctly exposed!!;-) )
Did you take those using the manual mode on the camera setting the exposure
based on what the camera said in the viewfinder or some other method.
When I do what you suggest the double cable release operates correctly, and
use the camera's internal metering, all shots are underexposed 2 to 3 stops.

Jason,
Sorry for misreading. Without a flash, using the Super Program and a
bellows
works like this for me... I have an autobellows A. The bellows shutter
release plugs into the camera and the front of the bellows (lens end).
Depress the plunger slowly and you will see that it closes down the aperture
on the lens before it fires the shutter. This way, the camera/lens is used
at open aperture, but the aperture is closed down to shooting aperture and
the scene metered before the shutter is released.
It's worked for me, but then I haven't used over 1 to 1 very often. See
these...
