Re: [pure-silver] Re: Light Leaks with Large FormatYours failed in the
corners. Mine failed with the rubberized gook on the outside of the
material flaking off.
I once asked, and the gang here in the US think that 5 years is about the
life expectancy... At least that is what I remember....
$600 every 5 years.... must be a professional point of view.. us amateurs
( the ONLY customers left for LF) do not count!
BTW, someone just posted elsewhere ( I forget where) that he had a bellows
made by Camera Bellows and it was done very well. He thought the material
used was like the original....
Why would any self respecting person get new material as bad as the original
when there are other choices? The Canham material, while not time tested as
much as a Linhof, is certainly pliable and has the potential to not have the
feature mode that I experienced.... So that is the way I am going... new
Canham material put on by Camera Bellows of Birmingham....
