I know I inherited a set of bellows for macro photography.

The paper is stiff enough by itself to not required extra stiffeners, and the 3/4" gaffers tape is applied on both the outside "hill" creases and inside "valley" creases, to reinforce the paper at its folding points.Joe Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10679530650280030752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058472817603514138.post-34925852555580295812016-01-27T21:31:56.172-08:002016-01-27T21:31:56.172-08:00I'm getting the impression you intend to use t...I'm getting the impression you intend to use the lens and shutter in interesting ways. Bravo on that. Try some of the "mating the lens to DSLR" stuff first because it's easiest and can give you a good understanding of what you can do with it. Bonus, if you have a 35mm film body to match, fun film experiments too! Then go all Van Cleave and build a neat paper positive box camera :DTedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774432656602082311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058472817603514138.post-45720063772441556972016-01-27T18:32:11.674-08:002016-01-27T18:32:11.674-08:00Hefty project you have there.

Found a Chinese fellow on ebay who made them to what ever spec. needed. Ordered some from him. View camera is now useable. Don't toss the old bellows before you embark on the new ones. They'll be the pattern for the new ones.<br /><br />Good thing about those old Kodaks is the shutters were mechanical and not air driven.<br /><br />Best of success with the restoration.
