Camera Bellows - Great Britain

[Alan Butcher]

I just got a new bellows for a Deardorff in May. Service was excellent. Only issue was that I had to do a bank transfer for payment, instead of credit card.

Bank transfers are very common here in Europe, quite a few good German sellers on ebay request it and do not accept PayPal. Not a real issue in Europe though.

When I buy in Holland from some reputable firms they have "Ideal" aswell: internet bank payment form my dutch bank account to theirs, easy and safe for both.
Credit cards are used less in Europe than in the VS.

Keith Canham will know about the status of the company. That is where is sources his bellows.

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

"Camera Bellows" were closed down by their former parent company. (Panavision) and do not have access to the old site to update it...

I have ordered bellows since the re-start as Custom Bellows, and as others have said, the service and quality are as good as ever, which is to say, "EXCELLENT".

Long Live Custom Bellows.

Just to put all your minds at rest Camera Bellows were represented at a camera fair in Wolverhampton (about 10 miles from Birmingham where they are based) on Sunday last. Common sense says that if they were hiding/dodgey they wouldn't make such a public appearence. I spoke to their representative on their stand and she was very pleasent. I would trust them to the hilt (and I'm a miserable sod).

Sorry,
I meant that Custom Bellows were in Wolverhampton. The new name's gonna take a bit of getting used to.

I received a quote for a new bellows from them just today...quite reasonable too!

I've had a couple of bellows made. Camera Bellows did by far the best job. I wish Custom Bellows all the best, and hopefully I'll order a couple of bellows from them this year.

Few days back I got bellows made by Keith at Custom Bellows. Excellent product. Prompt email responses. We did have a few bank transfer related hiccups that resulted in me sending a check directly to Custom Bellows. Overall I'm very satisfied.

Just received my bellows that Keith made for me. Better quality than the original. Very quick service, just a few days. It's great to have such a reliable source.
