They replaced a ~100yr old 8x10 Conley bellows (I installed it). Very fast. Excellant quality. Not cheap.
The only trouble with doin' nothing is you can't tell when you get caught up
Yes, I replaced the bellows of my Technika IV through them. I would highly recommend getting your new bellows done by them, they do a great job, very similar, perhaps better, than the orginal bellows. It may be to your advantage to send them your old bellows and have the replacement mounted on the frame. As I recall it was an additional £10, but saved the danger of having the wrong size bellows made.
I purchased a replacement bellows for a Techinika III last year and have been very pleased. It is much better than the bellows I ordered for a B&J Press from Flexible Products years ago.
I ordered a standard bellows for Technika 5x7 and had to return it as it was too short. They exchanged it for one after my own requirements and the thing was perfect, excellent quality.
I have just received from them a custom requested bellows. A good job, perfect fit, a bit expensive.
Used them several times. Technika bellows were as good as the original. They make the synthetic bellows for KB Canham cameras. Need I say more...
I've purchased two belows from Camera Bellows and they were prompt, reasonably priced and first rate quality. I believe this company also makes bellows for Dick Phillips. Western Bellows is another great source.

“You can’t have everything. Where would you put it?”
They may actually be the suppliers to Linhof. I emailed them (when my Technika bellows went to that great darkroom under the stairs), but never got a reply and finally bought a new Linhof bellows from Midwestphoto, for about the same price.
