I use Traditional Canham cameras for years now (4x5/5x7 and 8x10) and I am a very happy user.
Sometimes I think I will need a wide angle bellow so I went to Canham web site but no picture of that particular one. I tried a lot of web sites and no picture.
I tried Google with same result. I like to see that bellow before I buy it.
Any idea or link to an image ?
Thanks for your help.

I own the 8x10 Canham and I also own the wide-angle bellows. Let me take a photograph of it setup for you. Gimme a minute. ;)

I purchased the bellows and quickly realized that if I was going to use it in the field, I'd need a case for it. So, I had this padded one made that fits the bellows specifically. Interior and exterior shots.

Shots of the bellows. The rear section is a typical accordion-style, the front section is more of a giant one-pleat style, very similar to my SINAR WA-bellows.

Mounted the 120 SA f/8. It just barely covers 8x10, but with my 4x10 I get to actually use movements if I want to.

Thanks for your time & pictures Michael. Case is a very good idea and nicely done.
I will get one bellow next time a friend or myself go to NY.

Keith Canham is exceptionally helpful. If you send him an email, I'm sure he would send you a picture.
