Hi All,
I am going to make a new bellows for my Ansco 5x7 View camera. Its the grey painted one with black knobs with the lens tilt. The original bellows is tight stretched out to about 16". The camera rails themselves can stretch maybe 5 more inches.

How long is a customary bellows for a 5x7? I have 2 14" lenses I would like to use for portraits. Seems like an 18" or even a 20" inch bellows would be better?

Appreciate any advice. Thanks, Mark
