I have a Welta Sport I just picked up on the big auction site and it got here with taped bellows. The taped part was not visible in the aution photo. I'd like to replace the bellows, and it looks like it would be an easy job if I can find a replacement bellows somewhere. I want to do this on the cheap. Are there any Polaroid or Kodak cameras that used 2 7/8 x 3 6/8 inch bellows? I don't want to spring for a custom made bellows and am hoping to transplant one in good condition from a cheap junked camera. |

Oops! That should have been 2 7/8 x 3 7/8. 2 3/4 x 3 3/4 would probably do though. |

hi this advice may be a little late but making a set of usable bellows isn't terribly difficult..there are some good online sources of info about it. granted, they won't be as nice as a custom made set and small isn't necessarily easy but once you get your brain around how the fold works it's pretty straight forward..check out the links

Here's a better bellows-making link: http://www.rolandandcaroline.co.uk/Making_Bellows_for_Isolette.pdf I was hoping to avoid this, but it looks like that is what I'm going to be doing. |
