Does anyone have any tips on repairing smalll light leaks on my bellows of my 4x5 camera?? it's odd but they seem to apppear at each crease in the bellows fold, perfectly spaced apart! I have no idea how they got there! I aven't used the camera iin years! I can;t afford to buy new bellows. Is there any tips on covering the holes???

Just do a Google search for "bellows repair". You will get more hints and recommendations than you could use in a lifetime. In any case I did not find a repair method which is permanent. The best solution is to change the bellows since it will NOT stop generating leaks after repair.

Bellows show up on EBay from time to time in the photography "parts and repair" secction.
