This is a tutorial about how to make bellows for small cameras, from 35mm up to medium format. It shows how to measure the camera, how to get the drawing in .pdf from a paid application and finally how to use the drawing and make a paper bellows. Link to website page with more information:

Very helpful instruction on recreation of early and mid-century film camera bellows. You've made it appear more simple than I imagined, but I'm certain it's more involved than I see it being. My thanks.

i'll try this and see if it will also work on my kodak 3A pocket folding camera

I've just finished repairing my Perkeo I with one of these paper bellows, so far it's been great!

Hi, I would like to do the same on my parkeo, however I do not know how can I take out the film side on the back, in order to take out the bellows. Would you mind to give me an indication? I do not see any screw inside to loosen the bellows back cover. Thanks mate. Cheers

easily the best diy bellows I've seen, wish I'd seen this before figuratively bashing my head against the wall for over a week trying to make a 3 layer bellows for a 6x9 camera lol. This was about 6 years ago, but I'll keep it in mind when I inevitably become the owner of another camera with shut bellows. On a different note: I got a Super Ikonta 531/2 today. It's generally in great condition, bellows included thankfully, and I'm looking for information on how to _maintain_ them. What I found was rather iffy in my opinion, mostly because it didn't take into consideration the material the bellows are made of/adhesive and so on. First of all, the outer surface of these bellows is leather, right? it's got a tiny bit of mold (very very little). How would you advise I clean them and maintain them going forward? thanks a lot in advance!

Yes it is leather, at least, Zeiss Ikon advertised that theirs was real leather. This mold is called bloom and it is due to oils and waxes that solidify on the surface. You can wipe off what is loose with a soft brush. The remaining, when it occurs in leather goods in general, can be removed with a solution of equal parts of water and vinegar. But the bellows is so delicate, it is not like a shoe or belt, so I would go extremely careful with that. Avoid by all mean letting the solution to penetrate in the inner layers. Use a cotton swab barely humidified in the solution and try working without actually wetting the bellows. There are commercial products to perform the same job, that could be also a option. Later you can apply a leather conditioner. Good luck!!

If you mean those bellows with paper stiffeners, ribs, I will publish another video soon. I finally found contemporary materials that work well with that type of construction. I believe the the ones Ica, Voigtlander, Zeiss Ikon... used, in genuine leather, are very difficult to procure nowadays, if not impossible.

This was amazing sir. I have a question about applying the Japan finish on old Kodak Vest Pocket Cameras. I am doing a restoration project on a model similar to the one George Mallory carried with him on his summit attempt on Mt Everst. The bottom finish of the camera is damaged. Any ideas?

I don't know. Consider that it has to adhere, form an opaque layers and be reasonably flexible. If you think it may fulfill those requirements you can try it out on a piece of paper, evaluate e decide.
