Apologies we have had problems with our web page should be up and running now
Have you really not got nothing better to do than critisise someone's efforts to start a business manufacturing cameras. Instead of running the camera down why don't you have a go yourself..........
Please send again as I have answered all emails to date .... To info@custombellows.co.uk
Thanks
Keith
So long as the bellows are made correctly they should fit fine, you cannot just glue to the rear frame as they are internal fitting and cannot lie outside the frame as it will not fit or rub on the...
Thanks for all the useful information, I do know an machinist who can probably help with the required knobs, I was just hoping there was a supplier out there....never stops to amaze me what you can...
Cheers RJ
Sourcing over here is a pain as everything is now metric not imperial ( and I cannot blame Brexit for that )
I will arrange a photo to see if that helps
Cheers

Thanks John, I sort some photos out
Hi
I have decided to have a go at vintage camera restoration....just as a hobby not for re sale purposes
Does anyone know where I can get replacement locking knobs and any other spare part as I...
These are lines put on with a branding iron to hide the joins in the leather when they are applied in pieces rather than one whole piece, even when they were made in one piece these lines were...
Greetings from Custom Bellows Ltd
I would just like assure people we are still going strong and have no intention of closing the business, it's been going for over a 100 years would not dream of...
Camera Bellows no longer exists, they restarted under the name Custom Bellows Ltd in 2008
Well, I'm looking at a receipt that says "Camera Bellows" that came with my camera bellows that was made in Nov 2003 for a Conley 8x10 camera. The address is from Birmingham UK, but it lists the web...
The bellows are no problem, but your neighbour will only cover 6x9. Do you have a neighbour with a Labrador ???
Apologies Jac
I wish they could do that with leather, I have used snakeskin on a bellows......absolute nightmare to use but looked cool !!
Thick and scaly, always looking for something...
Hi Jack
We use an internal material as a lining and the leather for the outside for extra insurance, yes the leather is very thin we used to be able to get it from uk suppliers but they all went out...
Thank you Ramon
The leather I used to get was 7 thousand of an inch thick ( don't know what that is metric) the material we use is specially made for us to a specific thickness, it's ok getting thin...
No they are not leather, they are made from a single thickness synthetic material and when they crease up they stay creased
No I do make bellows for Deardorff and any other camera that needs them, the apology was for pretending to be a customer.....Like I said a moment of stupidity
.......lesson learned
I always thought he made his own bellows, if he did get his bellows made out then it was by ....... From what I have heard is from a guy who made them in his garage but unfortunately had to give it...
Ron used to make his own bellows in-house
First of all I would like to apologise for misleading people on this forum, my main aim on previous posts was to make people aware of the practices of a certain company. Ok I have posted it in the...
I manufacture bellows for Deardorf, it is an unfortunate and regrettable situation which i have tried NUMEROUS times to settle with the company which just falls on deaf ears !!!!
un answered emails...
I am a supplier of an item for Deardorf cameras, which without you cannot sell a camera. I have outstanding invoices from the company which are more than long overdue, if people are not receiving...
If there is anyone out there that needs bellows for their large format cameras i can strongly recommend Custom Bellows Ltd over in England, i have used them numerous times and found them to be...
They are still taking orders over their website and cannot deliver.......an ashamed way to do business...almost criminal
Do not buy anything from this company, they don't deserve to use the name of Deardorf.....a highly recognised and respected company......ruined !!!!!!
Is there anyone out there having problems with Deardorf? contacting them is a nightmare are they still in business ?????
