    *not* made in the USA, but they'll happily make *for* USA customers

    Custom bellows is by far the best and they have a quick turnaround time. Nobody in the USA makes a comparable bellows or can match the price. I have had bellows made by three different US companies over the years, but never again.

    Recently they did an amazing job for my 14x17 non-standard view camera. Pretty fast too.

    Custombellows also did my 11x14", and the work was first rate. No problem at all dealing with a UK vendor in the US.

    I think Western Bellows is still around. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Their contact information as of a couple of years ago was:

    7454 Henbane St
    Etiwanda, CA 91739 - View Map
    Phone: (909) 980-0606
    Michael W. Graves
    Michael's Pub

    If it ain't broke....don't fix it!

    My 11x14 Deardorff wears a Camera Bellows bellows. The images appear sharper on the left side of the print..........weird.........

    I had a bellows made by a Chinese company advertising bellows on ebay..I wrote to them and asked if they could make me a custom size and they wrote back with a reasonable quote
