Anyone recently replace a bellows on a Fuji GS645 Folding camera? I am looking for suggestions on who does this work, how well it was done, or has anyone done a replacement themselves?

Camera Wiz did mine a few years back. Very reasonable and prompt. They did an excellent job on mine.

Just to update the question with current pricing -

Camera Bellows in the UK will ship a new one for 43 pounds -

Camera Wiz will install one for $265 & CLA shutter - they use the UK bellows.

I decided to send it in to Camera Wiz as they had a number of positive comments on this and other forums, and they use the bellows from Camera Bellows -

Having just acquired a GS645 with leaky bellows, I would be interested to know of any repair facilities in the UK which could carry out this work.

I have been in touch with Camera Bellows, and they need my old bellows as a pattern for the new - unfortunately I don't currently know where to start in disassembling the GS645!! I have disassembled (and reassembled) quite a few shutters/cameras in the past, but I really don't want to mess this one up!
