Wasn't bellows making considered a craft, you were apprenticed and such???

Good idea sending in the standards etc.
Back in ancient times I went to the Deardorf factory here on a tour
w/a photo group. Jack said, if asked, he would supply one with the
schematics and the math formulas so to make your own replacement
bellows. I looked it over and from that I learned I'd never attempt
it. It was his way of emphasizing the difficulty in making bellows
and justified the cost.

Thanks Eric and everybody else who contributed information.
Everybody, including some of the comments I picked up when I did a
Google search, seems to be quite high on "camera bellows" in the UK
although postage is a factor.
I'm planning on sending the eventual company I chose, the complete
bellows along with the front and rear standard. This way, I get a
good fit and I don't have to worry about attaching the bellows
properly to the respective standards.
Again Thanks everybody; you've all been a great help.
Cheers,
Bogdan
