    Ebony bellows question

    Hi.
    I recently purchased a used Ebony 4X5. It's in beautiful shape, and I love the camera, but the universal bellows is sagging inward too much in the front part, often cutting off the image if I'm not cautious enough to catch it.

    Short of replacing the bellows, is there anything else I can do?

    Thanks,
    Steven

    I usually just "arrange" the universal part when setting the camera up with a wide angle lens. It doesn't seem to be an issue with longer lenses.

    Cheers, Steve

    A polystyrene bar put under the bellows is very lightweight and can serve miraculously...
