I recently acquired a Burke & James 5X7 Camera.I had a similar camera about 25 years ago ,but this one is a bit different ,my old one was all wood and gray this one is black and the piece that the bellows attaches to that holds the lens board is a type of plastic (Bakelite?) .I am happy with the camera and am looking forward using it but have a few questions . The rear standard swing movement is loose ,it moves even when the knob is tightened down very tight. The bellows will need replacing soon ,are they glued in and what type of glue would one use. Last? Where to order a bellows at a good price and quality
Thanks218718
