Are bellows good for close-up photography?

Bellows

Bellows are excellent and can be used with many lenses, but are very expensive and not very easy to use. You also lose a lot of functionality because a bellows seldom preserves any of your camera's auto functions such as diaphragms, auto-focus, or, in some cases, certain exposure modes. They are also awkward to use in the field.
