Kodak Bantam 4.5 Bellows

[Chuckwade87]

I have now 2 bantams both 4.5, and both have more holes in their bellows than a screen door. On the one I did try the liquid tape, and there were just to many holes. The other one I bought with taped bellows.

Before I take one apart, I was hoping that someone had the measurements for a new set of bellows. I'd like to replace both bellows if I can...

Anyone have the measurements?

Sometimes you can find them on eBay.

These are the dimensions and advice, I was given

custom bellows:Rear Frame (Camera body side): 48mm x 35mm.Front Frame (Lens/Shutter side): 28mm x 28mm.Maximum Extension: 55mm to 60mm (this ensures focusing at all distances without tension).Material: It was originally a single-fold or thin double-layer bellows to allow the camera to fold flat.These measurements correspond to the Bantam/Batán f/4.5 standard. I recommend providing these dimensions to your custom maker, but suggest they leave a 1mm margin for the adhesive on the frames.

I bought the repair manual for the Kodak Bantam 4.5 from learncamerarepair com, I did order a new bellows from an eBay seller in China, they have to be custom made, once I get them, I'll try and update this thread
