Just so I don't get scolded, yes, I am aware of the major bellows manufacturer's": Camera Bellows in the UK, Western Bellows, and the place in Rochester whose name escapes me right now.
But my question is this: Is anyone aware of someone who is currently making custom LEATHER bellows for cameras? All of the companies listed above make bellows from synthetic materials - which are very nice, of course. But I have this older camera that I am restoring that would absolutely look great with real leather bellows, and I was wondering if there is a good source for these any more. I realize that I could try to make my own, but that looks like a pretty daunting task for someone who has never done it before.
Thanks!
