Hi everyone,

I was recently gifted the most beautiful 5x4 Sinar C camera with a couple of lenses, all in great condition. Lucky me! :D The only issue is it came without bellows. I'm in the process of sourcing new ones now but I have a question about compatibility - I've read a few threads that mention Sinar and Horseman bellows are interchangeable, but my question is are all 5 x 4 Sinar bellows interchangeable across all models? So, if I'm looking for the C will bellows from a P or X fit also?

Sorry for the noob question and apologies if this exists in a thread elsewhere - I searched my little heart out and couldn't find it, but may just be inputting the wrong search query. :confused:

Thanks in advance for your help.

Yes, all Sinar 4x5 bellows are interchangeable, and Horseman bellows and lensboards will fit the Sinar.

Aren't the meter back and non meter back different in a given format, ie 8x10 i owned (non meter back) was different than the meter back bellows.

Is same true of 4x5???

I don't know about other sizes, but in the 4x5 format, the metering and non-metering backs will fit any Sinar camera, as will the bellows.
