Camera Bellows - Great Britain

[neil poulsen]

Is Camera Bellows in Great Britain up and running? I noticed that their webpage is still available. I ask, because I believe they went into receivership several months ago.

If up and running, has anyone used them recently? Has their ownership changed? Do they still provide the same level of service?

I only have second- or third-hand information. The last I heard was that the staff there was negotiating to purchase the firm. I do not know if they were successful. Did you try to contact them directly?

[Joanna Carter]

I have been in touch with them a couple of months ago. They are up and running but can be hard to contact. I suggest you try the phone number on this page : http://www.bulldogcameras.com/Contact.html

Hi
There was a thread here around the time the staff re-started, the new name and website http://www.custombellows.co.uk/

Hope this helps

OK, so that's the new site with the same phone number now. Thanks for that Sven

They reopened on Monday, 6 April 2009 as Custom Bellows. The same level of service (= great), good prices, excellent products.

Excellent. I just checked the bellows on a camera I want to use. That bellows would be more suitable for a planetarium than a camera.

It's interesting that the earlier website does not point to the new website. Also, different phone numbers.

Thanks!

I had the bellows on my TK45 replaced by custom bellows just a few weeks ago, and to say I'm impressed and please with the results would be an understatement.

The turnround was very quick and the quality is excellent.

I can't recommend them highly enough.

You can get them at:keithlowe@custombellows.co.uk or info@custombellows.co.uk

Mike, Thanks for the info. That answers another question I had: whether Keith Lowe is involved with the new organization. He's the one who did such an excellent job on a bag bellows for the same camera. neil

The last time I ordered bellows from Custom Belows Keith announced me it's done 6 days after the order. One weekend was in these 6 days too...
