    I had U B make a new bellows for my 11X14 a couple of years ago. Service and quality was fine+. The receipt was hand written in the "hand" of an elder person. Wonder if time caught up and they are retired? Maybe someone will know.

    A year or so ago I replaced the bellows on my Technika, I called the bellows manufactures I knew of (Univeral, Western Bellows in LA, and Camera Bellows in the UK) and found them all the same price +/- $15. I have no idea what an 8x10 bellows costs, but it is certainly worth calling around. I can highly recommend CameraBellows, and have heard good thinks about Western Bellows.

    I looked around myself before sending my Tech III off to Camera Bellows last week. They are quick to respond to emails and Donna is very helpful. There is a place in Florida but they literally said that they couldn't guarantee that my camera would have the same extension and close up tight with the "replacement bellows" as they called it so I sent to Camera Bellows.
