I bought some bellows off the big auction site since no one in New Zealand really have these and there may only be 1 camera tech who still repairs cameras. So I gave them bellows to him and he says the bellows are bit too short, they can be installed but not correctly.

What would you guys do? Do you know where I can get bellows?


Cheers.

I know I recently saw some for sale. I think it was on the Bay. They were new for the RZ/RB and were new. I know you can find the correct one so I would wait until you have the correct one to install.

Yes there is 2 listed on eBay. One from China which is the one I bought it was said to work with RB/RZ67. The other one is in England.

Basically what do I do? Cut my losses and have my camera returned un-repaired, shelf it, maybe leave it until I go overseas where they have a repair center that can source / supply the bellows? The bellows on eBay cost $100-130US.

Is it too late to return the bellows to the vendor?

Custom Bellows in the UK. 45 pounds each for my last purchase. You may have to send in the original if he doesn't a pattern.

Do not use the Chinese place on Ebay. They are a nightmare and don't count on ever getting one that fits.
