Wide angle bellows for Arca Swiss Discovery

[jprat]

Hello! Does anyone know where I can get a wide angle bellows for my Arca Swiss Discovery with the older 171mm standard? I’ve seen Chinese options in the auction site but I’m not sure it would be a good option.

I also understand Arca-Swiss no longer carry them in stock.

Any help would be much appreciated

Regards

Jorge

Hello from Besançon, France!

As you can see on this old Arca Swiss catalog (~ 1990s) there existed two models of wide-angle bellows for F-line 171-171 camera like your Discovery.

- a molded leather bellows ref. 072050
- a synthetic bag bellows ref. 072051

Taking into account that 171 mm F-line cameras have been discontinued around 2005, it is likely that Arca Swiss no longer has those bellows in stock.
But you can simply place a phone call to Arca Swiss International in France, people there speak English, French, German and you'll directly get the answer.
