I've just aquired my first folder, a very nice Agfa Isolette II. The condition is excellent.
Is there anything I should/could do to keep the bellows in good shape? |

Hello.
I use ordinary shoe polish. Seems to do the trick |

I generally use good dubbin / shoe polish and never had a problem. However, I have read that it may attract mould if the camera is stored away.
The Agfa Isolette I and II have vinyl bellows as far as I know them. Therefore, shoe cream may help make a stiff bellows work again, but does not really restore the material. |
