Is there any regular maintenance that should be done to protect the leather bellows on old German folders? I use a 1948 Zeiss as an every-day shooter. It's in great shape, but that leather is 65 years old and must need something to stay that way.

Thanks!

In the nineteenth century they used to use melted bees wax on leather bellows.
