before I pull the trigger on a new bellows from China I wanted to run it past people here if there is anyone closer that builds them or another place other than ebay . As always that you for your help

I can't compare quality with the Chinese bellows, but custom bellows UK is top quality and highly recommend, but they will cost you about double the Chinese bellows.

Should have said that I have no idea if the UK is closer than China!

Rudy at ecbuyonline2008 is the guy to go through. He uses a 3M material and is pretty quick getting them done. I had an issue with my bellows and vignetting (at the rear of the camera) so he's making a new set right now. They are light and pretty flexible compared to those on my previous 8x10 Wehman.

+1 for Rudy; I've bought five sets of bellows from him, 4x5 and 8x10 and the bellows are very good quality, made to your specs.

Good to know, but too late for me. He did not respond to an eBay direct message.

I will give him a second chance with some smaller bellows.

Now I am waiting for 3 big sets from Turner.

Does anyone have Rudy's email address, rather than going through the auction site as I need to contact him about some bellows.

thanks

He uses a 3M material ...

Please, can you tell us (if you know) what is the reference or part number for that material?
