Field camera 4x5 - Bellows change, but where?

igmolinav · 2026-04-27T21:35:09-0400

Hi,

Toyo 45CF camera, and Horseman 45FA camera need a bellows change.

We have bought the bellows for these two cameras. We would like to
find out someone who could change the bellows of each camera.

I would appreciate your recommendations.

Thank you, kind regards,

Ig : )!!!

P.D. I don't have the skills to do it, but perhaps you may know of a technician or a workshop where they may do it.

If you already have the bellows, you can ask Richard Ritter to replace them. I did it last year with a Wista 4x5 woodman, and I can recommend based on the quality of work, turnaround time, and reasonable cost.

I too had Richard Ritter replace my Wista DXIII 4x5 bellows about a year ago. He supplied the bellows and it along with his craftsmanship the replacement was better than the original.

Hi,

Thank you for your messages : )!!!

How much does he charge if he
supplies the bellows? How much
does he charge if one supplies
the bellows?

Thank you, kind regards!

Considering a beginner repairer like me was able to do it, any local film camera repair shop should be able to.

Why don't you ask him directly yourself? https://www.lg4mat.net/mail.html
