Has anyone purchased Speed Graphic bellows from eBay in the photo from that seller ? If you have are they any good ? I'm not too concerned if they are not leather. Your thoughts are appreciated.

IMO, I would feel comfortable buying from them. Their feedback is actually pretty good (except for the GA645 bellows and Hassy VF screens), but it doesn't seem there's any issue with their Graflex's bellows. Just keep in mind it may take a while, he seems to not be the fastest shipper out there.

The original bellows are vinyl covered on Pacemaker Crown and Speed Graphics, Anniversary and earlier were leather. The Pacemaker series introduced in 1947.
