Trying to find a replacement bellows for a ‘64 Crown Graphic

[Bill McMannis]

I ordered a couple replacement bellows from eBay for my Crown Graphic, but alas, they do not fit. The problem is the Chinese-made bellows maintains the same 4x5 aspect ratio from the film plane throughout the bellows. My Crown Graphic measures 3.75”x3.25” at the lensboard.

Any suggestions for a source for a bellows is appreciated.

Thanks!

They've made 4 various bellows for me and they've all been perfect.

I shipped off the original bellows to Keith at Custom Bellows last month. Keith sent me this photo of my new new bellows he attached to the original frames. The original bellows is on the left. To be shipped next week!

I 2nd the above. I just purchased a Japanese style Technikardan from Kumar, and he warned in the listing that the bellows might not be good. That's a tricky bellows to make, because it has narrow pleats, and it's double tapered.

He did an excellent job replacing this bellows for me. And, I've had the same experience with at least a couple of other bellows that he's made for me.
