Custom bellows is by far the best and they have a quick turnaround time. Nobody in the USA makes a comparable bellows or can match the price. I have had bellows made by three different US companies over the years, but never again.

Check the auctions site.

Recently they did an amazing job for my 14x17 non-standard view camera. Pretty fast too.

They made my 14x17 bellows as well. Great quality!

Custombellows also did my 11x14", and the work was first rate. No problem at all dealing with a UK vendor in the US.

I think Western Bellows is still around. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Their contact information as of a couple of years ago was:

My 11x14 Deardorff wears a Camera Bellows bellows. The images appear sharper on the left side of the print..........weird.........

I had a bellows made by a Chinese company advertising bellows on ebay..I wrote to them and asked if they could make me a custom size and they wrote back with a reasonable quote

I know that several people have used them with good results.

Perhaps get in touch with Filip Habart at habartf@gmail.com.

Filip does custom bellows, custom body pieces as well as complete cameras.

Excellent rates and a terrific guy. I'm going to use his bellows service for my DIY 7x17.

"Camera Bellows" is the old company that spawned "Custom Bellows" I catch myself using the old name by accident too, probably because I've been dealing with them since before the shut-down and rebirth. Product and experience still top shelf !

They made a new set of bellows for my 5x7 Speed Graphic a few years ago, and I was pleased with the quick turn around.

I used Turner for 3 sets of 11x14 square bellows this year.

I like them very much. Price was competitive with anywhere in the world and they made them resemble the 1930's style I wanted. I" pleats and length to match my supplied sample.

They even copied the Deardorff mounting system, as I supplied 2 vintage frames and one copy frame I made. The early Studio Deardorff bellows are tacked into the frames with stringers. Meaning they mounted the new bellows to my frames, which made the install very easy.
