Toyo-View Bellows

[tgtaylor]

Does anyone know if Toyo-View bellows are made of leather? They are not "thick" but they are expensive.

I got tired of ruining negatives with the crooked Chinese bellows that came with my 810G and bit the bullet and ordered new Toyo standard replacement bellows from B&H. They arrived 6 weeks after I placed the order.

i have a 45cx and im not sure if bag bellows are leather or some sort of synthetic hide (pleather) ..
i think the accordion bellows are synthetic

No they are not leather, they are made from a single thickness synthetic material and when they crease up they stay creased
