I'd been wanting a Deardorff V11 in good condition at a fair price. I never thought I'd find a mint (basically unused) one at a fair price! I think I already know the secret handshake, my knuckles are all bloodied up from setting it up! It's a beast, makes my V8's look like a toy. 42" bellows with 11x14 and 8x10 reducing backs! The first photo I have a piece of cardboard on the bed so as not to scratch the bed when folded! The last photo shows the 8x10 reducing back. The bellows is a canvas outer fabric unlike that of any of my V8's. It's a bit stiff from lack of use, but extends all the way out. Ken Hough said that there were 10 of those canvas bellows made in the 1980's, but a number went back for bellows replacement. This bellows works and has no pin holes which is all I care about! Now to get some film and more 11x14 Fidelity holders!
