I wonder if the (later) tapered bellows for the F and P (with the plastic frames) works on a Norma 5x7?

I have seen it being mentioned somewhere that they might "pull out" from the standards? Any firsthand experiences?

Glenn at www.glennview.com indicates that this is the case for 8x10. Change kits for 5x7 aren't being sold at this site, so nothing has been said about 5x7 regarding the bellows.

Aha, it was from there I got this information, then ... Well, I guess the only way is the practical way - try it and see.

Thanks!

I use an 8x10 Norma and I can tell you first hand that newer bellows frames (say from a P) just dont fit correctly. I could tell the first time I tried.
