Hello, I am looking for bellows for a Wista wood field 4x5 DX. Are they still available, and where could I purchase them? Also, are they hard to put on?

Thanks,

Monty

There is an ebay seller - ecbuyonline2008 - who makes very nice bellows. They are in Hong Kong. I think they make them for your camera. As to how difficult to replace - I have no idea. I ordered one for my old Gundlach 4X5. It arrived within a couple weeks but haven't dove into the installation yet.

Yes:

But they have very poor English. You would be better off contacting Bob Watkins at Precision Camera in IL.

I had Richard Ritter (http://www.lg4mat.net/) put a new bellows on my Wista Field a few years ago. You might see if he would sell you just the part if you want to install it yourself.
