    Perhaps get in touch with Filip Habart at habartf@gmail.com.

    Filip does custom bellows, custom body pieces as well as complete cameras.

    Excellent rates and a terrific guy. I'm going to use his bellows service for my DIY 7x17.

    "Camera Bellows" is the old company that spawned "Custom Bellows" I catch myself using the old name by accident too, probably because I've been dealing with them since before the shut-down and rebirth. Product and experience still top shelf !

    Turner Bellows, Rochester, NY. http://www.turnerbellows.com/photographic_bellows.html

    They made a new set of bellows for my 5x7 Speed Graphic a few years ago, and I was pleased with the quick turn around.

    I used Turner for 3 sets of 11x14 square bellows this year.

    I like them very much. Price was competitive with anywhere in the world and they made them resemble the 1930's style I wanted. I" pleats and length to match my supplied sample.

    They even copied the Deardorff mounting system, as I supplied 2 vintage frames and one copy frame I made. The early Studio Deardorff bellows are tacked into the frames with stringers. Meaning they mounted the new bellows to my frames, which made the install very easy.
