Having just applied some black acrylic paint judiciously to some very small pinholes, I am thinking of treating the bellows exterior. However, they are not original, at least as indicated by the slight misalignment (off-plumb) at the front standard. That's the way camera came to me third-hand. I read that Tachihara used goatskin leather, at least at some point, but my camera has no serial number anyway.
Is there a way to tell whether they are indeed leather? I have read a number of posts and cautionary tales about applying leather treatment to bellows, and that question was posed in one.
Lexol appears to be wide recommendation, assuming I know which product (I don't).
Thanks.
