I am thinking of ordering custom bellows for the arca 171-171 f Classic. I currently have the standard 38cm and wide leather bellows. The standard seem quite "rigid" compared to the leather bag and I would like a bit more extension. Initialy I was thinking of the long 70cm type bellows as per arca model number 072060, however I was thinking of larger pleats as per the pleats on the new 141 -6x9 bellows.
The idea would be to carry two bellows, the wide leather for wide (47-~150) and a second bellows for ~150-700mm. I would like the second bellows to be compact thus easily carried in the field, and not thick when left on camera..
What is the best material for the bellows? The black nylon material?
Is there any suggestions on the design and lenght of the bellows?
Is there any retailers you can suggest? I am speaking to a Chinese maker at the moment...
