Bellows Care And Maint.

[tgtaylor]

What about the bellows on Toyo-View? Are they leather or leatherette? Does anyone know?

[Bob Salomon - HP Marketing]

There are many different Toyo models. Which do you mean? Have you asked Toyo?

[tgtaylor]

Thanks for the reply Bob. I knew I should have mentioned the models I own.

45AX, 45CF both are field (folding) cameras.
45C and Robos (monorails).

If the bellows are real leather, would saddle soap work?

Use Lexol for leather bellows. It's designed for leather-bound books (not BMW seats as you might think) and is the best choice by far.

As far as the inside of belows is concerned; the occasional vacuuming will save you some spotting later on.
