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
