As I was removing the regular bellows, I looked over at the bag bellows, and saw that they have two round pins on opposing sides of the wooden frame for the front of the bellows. The regular bellows do not have this, nor are there any matching locating holes in the front standard of the camera. So, the bag bellows will not fit on the camera without either cutting off these pins, or drilling holes in the front standard. Neither of those sound like a good idea. So, the question would be:
1. Is this actually a bag bellows made for another camera? Or......
2. Did the bag bellows on the Zone VI 4x5 cameras change at some point in time? (As mentioned earlier, what I have is the Ultra Light.)
At this point, I think that Bob's advice to return it would be the best course of action. Before I do, I thought it would be best to get some info on these questions so that I can explain this to the seller and arrange to get this returned. I wonder if Richard Ritter could fabricate some bag bellows.
Thank you all very much!
