I need new bellows for my 5x7 B&J Watson camera. Who do you suggest I get to make one for me? I'd prefer a source here in the US if possible. Thanks.

Thanks, Randy. Do you have personal experience with the company? Looks like they mostly make industrial bellows.Quote:

I have used Turner Rochester, they quit
Custom Bellows U.K. made my last ones, they are excellent and in business right now

No such issue with Custom Bellows UK, bellows were a perfect match. Shipping international isn't really that difficult and the USD is pretty favorable to the UK Pound right now, I see no reason not to use them.Quote:

If you can, send them your old bellows to duplicate, but you can design anything from scratch on their website. Dyatect bellows are the thinnest available, totally synthetic and waterproof. No probem with folding cameras even with extra long lengths.
Thanks, fair enough, I will contact them to inquire. Much appreciated, folks.Quote:
