<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
and you should get a perfect glue without bubbles</div>
<br />
I tried to apply glue with edge of a plastic smear knife instead of brush, which results an even and wide spray area. I used it on both ribs and inner layer, put them aside for about 10 minutes, then apply both side contacted, with a dry towel I carefully rub in small circle on inner layer , to check if any bubble exists.<br />
<br />
Then I apply all surface with iron in mild temperature, no hard pressure, for about two minutes.<br />
<br />
The result is perfect!<br />

<br />
Darkroom cloth is thin enough, but if you think it can totally keep light away, think it twice.<br />
<br />
Maybe it can block normal strength of light beam, but under the strong sun light, you should be cautious. I had mentioned this in previous post of preparing bellows material.<br />
<br />
And I also mentioned that material for bellows that camera manufacturing companies picked, are rarely found in the market for common people, I believe that they are custom made exclusively for cameras.<br />
<br />
So not only we pick darkroom cloth as inner layer for they are easy to get, and we need to apply one or two layers of acrylic paint on it to enhance the light blocking.<br />
<br />
But how do we know this do provide absolute light blocking function??<br />
<br />
Well, let's find out.<br />
<br />
Overlay darkroom cloth which has been sprayed with acrylic paint, and the leatherette you pick as outer layer on a flash light, flash face up.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-hPeaX3VJF1dupMLc99dSKUY7ejqPMLxAGo1cQIQ8k1u2BGxIkXfnR03wT-LFxCkdvmtlenHIW0BfrK48vYJYJnEfIawJh0vqA-7ZCe9khHYRBKL01ZH9Er-GJA05ud3O98IjJDiS4eM/s1600/P1060072.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-hPeaX3VJF1dupMLc99dSKUY7ejqPMLxAGo1cQIQ8k1u2BGxIkXfnR03wT-LFxCkdvmtlenHIW0BfrK48vYJYJnEfIawJh0vqA-7ZCe9khHYRBKL01ZH9Er-GJA05ud3O98IjJDiS4eM/s320/P1060072.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Turn on the power, and trigger the flash in a dim lit room, inspect with naked eyes, if any light coming out of the surface of the leatherette, it means acrylic spray is not thick enough.<br />
<br />

<br />
That is correct, I would say, it is not a problem to an experienced bellows builder, but for a green hand that could lead disaster at folding.<br />
<br />
I would suggest keep one rib tip for each pair, so it would be easy to follow when folding.<br />
<br />
In my example, shape A would be the sides for up and down side, and both inner layer and outer layer will leave seam at this shape, leaving tips at this side would be better.<br />
<br />
When preparing the rib pairs for shape A, follow the shape outline instead of inner line as<b> <a href="http://salihonbashome.blogspot.tw/2015/04/6-ribs-on-inner-layer-a.html" target="_blank">Post 6A</a> </b>instructed, so we have space to trim the tips.<br />
<br />
Best draw slant lines as trimming guide, every other rib has the same trimming angle, so if you did not mark them, it will be easily do it wrong. <br />
<br />
As image shown, I mark every other rib, to remind myself when trimming.<br />

<br />
After trimming, let's layout all four side of rib pairs, you can see the difference now, comparing with the way previous mention in <b><a href="http://salihonbashome.blogspot.tw/2015/04/6-ribs-on-inner-layer-b.html" target="_blank">Post 6B</a>.</b><br />

Fold bellows in shapeFinally, we come to the final step, fold all rib pairs into pleats, forming the bellows in shape.<br />
<br />
Practically it starts from rear opening, but you can try starting from front opening, maybe you are good at it.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">All started rib folds outward bound at rear opening</span>, I had mentioned in Extend Study in Chapter 4, and template had been designed to achieve the purpose.<br />
<br />

<br />
At the end where ribs of two sides meet is gap, which has no rib exists, you need to squeeze two ribs to form naturally a slant fold.<br />
<br />
With some clothes pegs, hold just formed folds and gradually increasing folds to hold.<br />

<br />
That's it, I think I had finished all the steps for building a bellows in easy way, no special tools need, no hard to find materials, and all you need is a little patience and some spare time.<br />
<br />
I also mentioned that my bellows building procedure is different from this, for I made more than one bellows in one batch.<br />
<br />
If you have no experience on bellows building, and are interested in building one, I hope this post help you out.<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading.<br />

After applying outer layer onto rib pair cone with diluted decoupage gel, best we iron it to enhance the contact also to speed up the dry-up time.</div>

1. We need a tool to help on ironing.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Water filter cartridge, I bought one in hardware store in less than US$1.00, very good use as inner support when ironing bellows. I borrowed handles and connectors coming from wasted mop to extend two cartridges if bellows is in long size. </div>

Taking off bellows from template plastic cone is tricky, but quite easy, just roll down exceeding part of leatherette on rear opening, then you can easily slide off the bellows, watch the video shows.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red;">Remember always having oven paper in between bellows and iron</span>, to avoid any surface harm if iron temperature is set too high or scratching.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Inspecting the surface if any bubble inside the leatherette, press with iron and smooth gliding on top of it to get it out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Most iron has temperature setting for different clothing, there should be one set for Nylon, you can start by this setting, to see if it </div>

2. Put bellows aside overnight for thoroughly dry out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With a pair of sharp scissors, trim both unwanted part of openings. First, trim off those extra part with only one layer of leatherette, there is a distinct border for reference.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then the extra parts that exceed where rib pairs located. You can refer the rib pairs from outer layer surface, carefully trim off the exceeding part, leave both openings with edges of two sides higher than the other two sides, that is nature for we arranged shape A one rib lower thant shape B, remember that?</div>

6. Outer layer material</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
To skip the trouble finding different material for outer layer, you can pick darkroom cloth, same as for inner layer.<br />
<br />
I used to pick Thai silk for outer layer for it is very thin and soft, but it will stretch or distort if you cover it with a little bit harder pull or press, that takes specially care and skills for applying it, so I will not recommend this to bellows building beginners.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj15enV7ICc01vE9FYLoSBzzmdY_WtPFzlx_eqzfsgG6LoajkaYjnQOyuCuj6yVHZB0jbBlWX7SVuUhlHxPnjD1dKsX_jr0xsTMEd3aKYTL7U5Zt3DIG-16SPYD6b3oBvKSDUYB3o-0wC8/s1600/2014-04-26+14.32.31.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj15enV7ICc01vE9FYLoSBzzmdY_WtPFzlx_eqzfsgG6LoajkaYjnQOyuCuj6yVHZB0jbBlWX7SVuUhlHxPnjD1dKsX_jr0xsTMEd3aKYTL7U5Zt3DIG-16SPYD6b3oBvKSDUYB3o-0wC8/s1600/2014-04-26+14.32.31.jpg" height="225" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(black and red in silk, orange in leatherette)</div>
<br />
Another material you can pick is PU leatherette, it is common to see in everyday life, and easy to get some. But we need leatherette in rather thin thickness comparing with those for bag, sofa or car seats. You can find some leatherette in thickness about 0.2~0.4 mm for clothing in store, that will fit my need.<br />
<br />
If your bellows size is larger than mine, then maybe thicker leatherette such as in 0.6~1.0 mm could be good option. But always pick the thinner one if you can.<br />
<br />
And most important issue when you pick them, <span style="color: red;">NO elastic feature for the fabric.</span><br />
<br />
I won't bother to find genuine leather for outer layer, first, such thickness is very hard to find, you may find them in book covering material supply shop, and it is expensive, very expensive; and secondary, I don't like the idea using animal skin as covering.<br />

7. Lay over the bellows layout template on leatherette, draw the outline at back side of leatherette. <span style="color: red;">Be reminded the template is placed in wrong side, for we are drawing outline on inner side.</span></div>

8. Now you can try to wrap the cone with leatherette, and move the leatherette up and down along the rib pair side line, find a perfect spot for the first rib, where the leatherette would completely cover the cone, and overlay a bit in the width of double sided tape.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: x-large;">Seam placement decision</span></h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
In this step we should decide which side to place seam of inner layer as well as outer layer, so we can correctly leave overlaying part of cloth when sealing.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Bellows in this example is a taper one, which side close to the camera rail (rail bed) defines seam placement.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

Image below shows my bellows when installed on camera, one narrow side close to the rail / camera bed. Image right side shows the section of bellows, outer layer should place seam at the bottom side, which is the narrow side (side A), so seam will not be viewed, and inner layer should place seam at the top side, diagonal to the outer seam. <br />

3. With a very sharp blade (best brand new utility knife tip), trim the edge of shape A, leave NO gap space, and the edge of shape B, by the side of double sided tape. A sharp blade can reduce the chance resulting fraying edge, and thanks to the nylon material as well acrylic paint, darkroom cloth tends to have very brisk edge. I would trim off a little bit of double sided tape, to keep the edge sharp.</div>

4. Before overlaying the edge to seal the seam, we should know exactly how to align both side ribs. Ideally if ribs extends to the corner, they should form a zigzag line between both side ribs, which is easy to align. Our bellows has simplify the ribs, so you have to in vision an imaging rib, which extends its base to the other side, as orange dash line shows.</div>

5. With a sheet of template plastic, roll it into a cone, fit its size exactly as bellows, now the bellows is in 3 dimension status, no need to build a bellows model for it as many instructions revealed. Actually, I found out that building a model for bellows tends to misguide builders, for they would set two gaps for each side and resulting a wrong size product. </div>

Ribs on Inner Layer (C)4. Apply glue gel onto the rib pairs, you can apply all four shapes in a time, or one at a time.<br />
<br />
I pick decoupage gel as bellows glue both for inner and outer layer, for they are water based, designed for fabric material, and they are easy to use, can be re-positioned without difficulty, and most importantly, it is water resistant and fabric still feel soft.<br />
<br />

<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Collage-Pauge-Instant-Decoupage-Matte/dp/B001GE08TM" target="_blank">decoupage gel on Amazon</a></div>
<br />
<br />
This is water base glue, so before it is totally dry out, it seems the stickiness is not so good at work, but don't worry about that, and we can get good use of this characteristic, adjust the position without any problem.<br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="color: red;">Align shape with bottom line, never forget this!!</span><br />
<br />
5. Now kraft paper base of rib pairs has done their job, successfully carries rib pairs onto inner layer, they should be torn off.<br />
<br />
Spray a mist of water on top of the kraft paper, let the paper soak water, this will reduce stickiness of repostional adhesive as well as decoupage glue gel, so it helps tearing off kraft paper, but be cautious of the ribs too.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
After tearing off the paper, ribs are still wet, decoupage gel won't stick them tightly unless totally dry out, so we iron the ribs, to speed it out.<br />
<br />
6. Take a piece of <span style="color: red;">oven paper</span>, which is waxy, preventing iron directly touch the nylon cloth, also ribs sticking onto iron.<br />
<br />
Do not iron outside the oven paper, if iron touch the cloth directly, it may leave marks on it.<br />

<br />
Notice that after ironing, ribs are firmly stick at inner layer, when I turn the layer to other side, ribs twitches with cloth, showing that dry out gel do the good job.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08029891830479260304noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1658101982937262223.post-60978613790991766542015-04-22T20:59:00.002+08:002015-04-28T15:34:23.677+08:006. Ribs On Inner Layer (B)<h1>
The Inner Layer</h1>
<div>
I pick darkroom cloth as inner layer for it is easy to find, almost every store sells cloth has it, and it is cheap, but most of all, it is very thin, made in nylon so it is very sturdy and it won't stretch, this is important when you pick fabric material for bellows.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There are darkroom cloths with both side in black or one side in sliver, I won't choose silver version unless I planned to cover the bellows in lighter color as outer layer, such as red or white.</div>

But there is a minor problem for darkroom cloth as inner layer, for it should have a very dull matt surface, reducing any light reflection of diffraction happening on the light path from lens to negative inside the bellows, and I think that darkroom cloth made in ultra thin nylon thread with sort of silky surface would somewhat reflect a bit. Observing some vintage camera bellows, many of them are with cotton fabric as inner layer, which has dull dark grey as dye color, and I think they were made with a thin resin coating, to fill out all the meshes holes.<br />
<br />
Although darkroom cloth are so called, but it is not 100 percent light proof, image below shows two pieces of darkroom cloth, left one has been sprayed with two layers of black acrylic paint,comparing with right one which in original condition.<br />

Applying dull black acrylic paint can improve darkroom cloth in two considerations, make the surface much more dull matt, and to enhance the light blocking ability.<br />
<br />
1. Squeeze some acrylic paint into a shallow dish, dilute with water in ratio about 3:1, with a wide flat brush brushes paint onto darkroom cloth surface, apply as little paint as possible each time, and make sure paint spray evenly, put it still for drying up, you can apply second layer of paint if feel necessary.<br />
<br />
I applied one layer of acrylic paint to each side, to see which side gets the best dull surface, you can tell that one side is duller than the other.<br />
<br />
After applying acrylic paint, cloth gets different touch, from nylon cloth into some kind of leather, and it surely improve the light blocking ability.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
2. Inspect painted darkroom cloth, decide which side has duller mate surface, place duller side facing down. Lay the bellows layout template on top of the cloth, and trace the outline lines. With shape A and B template, draw top and bottom guide lines within each shape.<br />

<br />
Now try place 4 rib pairs stripe shapes on it,<span style="color: red;"> remember always align with the bottom line.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And be reminded again each rib pairs strip shape has two more ribs beneath the bottom line, <span style="color: red;">you should align third rib to the bottom line.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
3. Fold each rib pair stripe shape between 2nd. and 3rd. rib at the bottom, forming a distinct folding line shows where the bottom line is when place the glued rib pairs. Or you can draw a line that place if you want it more clearer to see.<br />

Ribs On Inner Layer (A)<h3 style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; margin: 0px; position: relative;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;">Spray the glue, paste the stripes</span></h3>
<span style="font-size: small;">Rib stripes are ready for template layout, they will be placed onto kraft paper guide, for fixing them at the arranged place, a little bit of glue is needed.</span> <br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Repositionable adhesive makes you easily re-arrange stripe positions once you are not satisfy with them, so it makes job done perfectly without difficulty.</span> <br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Spray a thin layer of repositionable adhesive onto the kraft paper guide, spray evenly, but as little as possible, we need it help fix the rib, but also to reposition when need. Put it still for about 5 minutes, then place the stripes according to the guide. Don't mix 7 mm stripes and 5 mm stripes and don't get them at the wrong position.</span> <br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I would paste 7 mm stripes first, then 5 mm stripes.</span> <br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd4a73pgdMDUoWWl0BNtopdsjiRdG1bxwPx65ZjPFiKF00TENkUfM1_7IAYjRMwsM56XpRmYPTfK79om_n6punWVj5oCs5p7jUJbsD3WEyKgmASuqN3o8gbwN0eJRZHIWt9CQJxMIQ2WU/s1600/P1050917.JPG"><img border="0" height="362" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd4a73pgdMDUoWWl0BNtopdsjiRdG1bxwPx65ZjPFiKF00TENkUfM1_7IAYjRMwsM56XpRmYPTfK79om_n6punWVj5oCs5p7jUJbsD3WEyKgmASuqN3o8gbwN0eJRZHIWt9CQJxMIQ2WU/s1600/P1050917.JPG" width="640" /></a> <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Ideally the gaps should be at the center of two stripes, but I found it hard to fulfill in such a limited space, so I would place stripes exactly by the guide lines, it is much easier to follow, and the result is the same.</span> <br />

<h1>
Cut the shape with ribs</h1>
<span style="font-size: small;">Ideally ribs should looks like what shows in the image below, each rib extends tips to the corner, they cover every corner, and help forming the folds.</span> <br />
<a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-vykhTF_AKsY/VTVZKaSN1QI/AAAAAAAAknw/HY3fp1RzTtc/s1600-h/corel049%25255B13%25255D.jpg"><img alt="corel049" height="480" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-HEP62rp-8fM/VTVZLmpiH0I/AAAAAAAAkn4/0hS6EXWpafU/corel049_thumb%25255B10%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" title="corel049" width="589" /></a> <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">As I mentioned before, I prefer complete ribs, with the help of CG software and plotting/cutting machine, it is not so hard to achieve, but if you plan to do that with bare hands, then I wish you best luck.</span> <br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1Vg93Wdsn7veAlE2AfAmcfmiva7ObGdWp1ATwjb0yD1fhMRANkwk9cztb-hf88mpUg-i_7-6DkbtBAOgotv6PNrKsfefz9pCXa-VRyVpfC8j-j7zJC1JiwrU-bFiAKsUWcKf1isqg7Yc/s1600/P1010449.JPG"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1Vg93Wdsn7veAlE2AfAmcfmiva7ObGdWp1ATwjb0yD1fhMRANkwk9cztb-hf88mpUg-i_7-6DkbtBAOgotv6PNrKsfefz9pCXa-VRyVpfC8j-j7zJC1JiwrU-bFiAKsUWcKf1isqg7Yc/s1600/P1010449.JPG" width="639" /></a> <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">To simplify the building procedure, and to avoid stacking too many layers of ribs at corners, resulting unnecessary problem, many industrial produced bellows have simplify ribs like what shows at image below.</span> <br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OTDtJ3v--ps/UEa5Urr5vmI/AAAAAAAAQD4/Dn7Hah-jH2w/s1600/P1010585.JPG"><img border="0" height="362" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OTDtJ3v--ps/UEa5Urr5vmI/AAAAAAAAQD4/Dn7Hah-jH2w/s1600/P1010585.JPG" width="640" /></a> <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">What our ribs will be cut into the shape similar to this.</span> <br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-D9Qdif93c7M/VTVZMlpF5KI/AAAAAAAAkoA/0hBG9mMQLRI/s1600-h/corel050%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="corel050" border="0" height="484" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-dMJmPSZ_XvM/VTVZNyOuvDI/AAAAAAAAkoI/bt3KFKobed8/corel050_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="corel050" width="601" /></a> <br />
<br />
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: small;">1. Notice that ribs<span style="color: red;"> will not reach to the end of shape</span>, so we need to mark the borders for these ribs. With zigzag ruler align by slant side of shapes, add two border lines on both shape A and B. These two inner lines in the shape are the borders for ribs.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-5SZKkB70qos/VTX7Ej9_MKI/AAAAAAAAn1o/hvRHWGiJRQ8/s1600-h/corel051%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img alt="corel051" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-lzxxfXZzt6Y/VTX7FXZntsI/AAAAAAAAn1w/GIsilSaeLZg/corel051_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" height="359" style="display: inline;" title="corel051" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">2. Please be reminded again that the <span style="color: red;">shape A/ B template are made with extended rib pairs, that</span> <span style="color: red;">is, what we really need for bellows is in the area within top and bottom lines, </span><span style="color: black;">extended areas were left for gluing front /rear opening frame only.</span> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The <span style="color: red;">bottom line is the most important reference, for its length was defined by frame width or length, we must keep them precisely as desired, making sure that rear frame will fit into the bellows when gluing.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: small;">Do observe closely, you can find out that the rib shape on top of the bottom line, is the 5 mm stripe, the narrower one. As image shows, the yellows stripes.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: small;">And the rip shape just under the top line, is the 7 mm stripe, the wider one, as pink stripes show.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-a03DbA-iNA8/VTX7Gb92k1I/AAAAAAAAn14/8oyZA3l68GM/s1600-h/corel053%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="corel053" border="0" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-dfjSzQsy9Mo/VTX7HcOaSMI/AAAAAAAAn2A/jFWfO7AymW8/corel053_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" height="463" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="corel053" width="644" /></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Now keep this in mind, place shape A template on top of the rib stripes, <span style="color: red;">align the bottom line with the 5 mm stripes (yellow stripes in the image below), leave about 2 stripes underneath bottom line, as extend rib pairs.</span> Since we have more stripes pasted as we need, so maybe some stripes will be left unused, that’s fine, they are supposed to be. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Double check that the stripe beneath the top line is 7 mm stripe (pink stripe in the image below), and leave two extend stripes for frame gluing.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">What we cutting off is as grey area shown in the image below. </span><br />

Be aware these four rib pair stripes are pasted on kraft paper with repositional adhesive, just temporarily keep them in the place, so handle them in gentle manner.<br />

<h3>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Practically camera bellows is made by three layers, there are
inner layer, ribs, and outer layer. Two layers sandwich ribs, so each fold of
bellows is formed.</span><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.38;">
</span></h3>
<h1 dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; line-height: 1.38; margin: 10pt 0px 0pt; position: relative;">
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">To ensure ribs will guide us how to fold the bellows when
sandwiched layers cover up them, cracks between ribs are necessary, and thus
reduce the thickness at the tip of folds.</span>
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bjUEgkvmLss/UEa5T4MReAI/AAAAAAAAQD0/b472Qze2brE/s1600/P1010587.JPG"><span style="font-size: small;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bjUEgkvmLss/UEa5T4MReAI/AAAAAAAAQD0/b472Qze2brE/s1600/P1010587.JPG" width="320" /></span></a>
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">And to simplify the building procedure, we will cut off the ribs
at corner, as above image shows. This is a popular way of building bellows,
especially for mass production. I myself prefer to extend the ribs to the
corner, for that provides maximum shape forming and light blocking function.

it!</span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It is not easy to buy in sheets, I found no for retail, you have

by yourself, you shoul consider this, after laying out the template, take off
the wax layer of the paper with tip of kraft knife, then it is ready to paste!
If you don’t make so many bellows, you can pick this as sheets, any store sells
printing paper for inkjet printers has it as 10-sheet pack, best to get matt
surface, for you will apply glue for it.</span>

<h1 dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; line-height: 1.38; margin: 10pt 0px 0pt; position: relative;">
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">4 sides of bellows need ribs, and they are all in the same rib
width interval, so if your tools and material allows you, why not make them in
one shot?</span>
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Let's assume that each side of bellows has 18 pairs of rib,
including exceeding ones for frame gluing. If you trim each rib pairs one by
one, there are 36 trimming for one side, then 4 sides would take you hundred
more trims, spare your eyes and waist, they are innocent!</span>
</span><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">By simple layout, you can solve all the trimming in one job, if
your tools and material allows you.</span>
</span><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">However, due to my tools limitation, I would have rib pairs for
two sides in one trim. Shape A and B have different slant sides, build them
separately could reduce confusion in work.</span>
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">1. Draw a line on Kraft paper, at least the length about 2 times

<h1 dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; line-height: 1.38; margin: 10pt 0px 0pt; position: relative;">
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Measure rib pair carefully, you will find that ribs are in two
widths, it is the nature of taper bellows, only square bellows has unique one
width of ribs. And if you inspect the image more carefully, then you can tell
that wider ribs are always the longer one in rib pairs.</span>
</span><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I got about 6.0 mm and 8.0 mm for rib width, but I will leave
space for rib gap.</span>
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLM_DpT2TmRemVkM4cB7DhbLhyphenhyphenq8EOlAmCjHzHwdAViEj0yHE8jw1NCuLSUzh8RuFZ8xCJpzi3rtQEVT-V7wXL-d6_yRbFZkMNh3rSM1XMFHg7ZBRUKNYdEbJ8Gb5qRXHRqeA5wT5b3aQ/s1600/corel043.jpg"><span style="font-size: small;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLM_DpT2TmRemVkM4cB7DhbLhyphenhyphenq8EOlAmCjHzHwdAViEj0yHE8jw1NCuLSUzh8RuFZ8xCJpzi3rtQEVT-V7wXL-d6_yRbFZkMNh3rSM1XMFHg7ZBRUKNYdEbJ8Gb5qRXHRqeA5wT5b3aQ/s1600/corel043.jpg" width="248" /></span></a>
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Rib gap width varies as the size of of bellows, small bellows
for 120 folders, 5x4 cameras, are set at about 0.8~1.5 mm. It should be at least
double the thickness of bellows made by outer layer, rib, and inner layer. I
assume my bellows will be made in the thickness at about 0.4 mm or less, so I
will set the gap at about 1.0 mm.</span>
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">So what rib stripes I need to trim will be in 5.0 mm and 7.0
mm.</span>
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">1. To trim paper stripes in 7.0 mm and 5.0 mm width, better
there is an aid to to the job. Cut a piece of template plastic, made it in this
shape.</span>
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3pmUV47Pi6Uaf_y2iVppTvDYCo83dCg24C4EfQsZigG8w-2CAiPsPEFEx5afkKPBGXBq3rcHzDibxDPyHsRqsD-zGWfFJGP31EQjjof_BLMXOaeOAXwvLGpPsA_1ngz-yGwpdhILbR3k/s1600/corel044.jpg"><span style="font-size: small;"><img border="0" height="105" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3pmUV47Pi6Uaf_y2iVppTvDYCo83dCg24C4EfQsZigG8w-2CAiPsPEFEx5afkKPBGXBq3rcHzDibxDPyHsRqsD-zGWfFJGP31EQjjof_BLMXOaeOAXwvLGpPsA_1ngz-yGwpdhILbR3k/s1600/corel044.jpg" width="400" /></span></a>
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In fact, I made both side of guide for different rib width,
dents should be larger than the paper you prepare for ribs stripes.</span>
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga1YWBCfSe2t_mYuQllr4GRKshDdtdw1jGqREwcg5AgenHy4zrJcLSqwFAm2eVqID0IAQQEf8WXTe194vrecJObK2t5q1qZyc920kl1BWxPwnr-RduG4LwcsZoB86ziicNVL_C4Hs3w0A/s1600/P1050910.JPG"><span style="font-size: small;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga1YWBCfSe2t_mYuQllr4GRKshDdtdw1jGqREwcg5AgenHy4zrJcLSqwFAm2eVqID0IAQQEf8WXTe194vrecJObK2t5q1qZyc920kl1BWxPwnr-RduG4LwcsZoB86ziicNVL_C4Hs3w0A/s1600/P1050910.JPG" width="320" /></span></a>
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">2. Trim rib stripes with the help of stripes guide. Here I pick
tempura paper for ribs, I like the quality of the paper, it is made in very good
fiber, a little bit stiff in touch, and it surely will be great at absorbing
glue, it is made for absorbing.</span>
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In my bellows, I need to trim about 40 strips both for 7 mm and
5 mm version.</span>
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiExiM3ZWTN3x7vAVWQE2V3o578F3KZVrLt7JwlisZg8jvb1FldJgN8hB4PM2uT-x72pjhRHyqhGUbjBCAozcF0ieZVmYcNCT0b7hf_TDBC97Y4DhBRdl42vp1yPYQ1x6jlyt0m0Lvxq0w/s1600/P1050911.JPG"><span style="font-size: small;"><img border="0" height="175" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiExiM3ZWTN3x7vAVWQE2V3o578F3KZVrLt7JwlisZg8jvb1FldJgN8hB4PM2uT-x72pjhRHyqhGUbjBCAozcF0ieZVmYcNCT0b7hf_TDBC97Y4DhBRdl42vp1yPYQ1x6jlyt0m0Lvxq0w/s1600/P1050911.JPG" width="320" /></span></a>
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Here I paste both ends of stripe guide to the steel ruler with
tapes, this will make cutting even easier, you can see the results in video
below.</span>

guide on kraft paper, and cut the ribs that shape B needs.</span>
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Shape B has different widths of ribs from shape A, but they are
so little in difference, so I decided to ignore them, and prepare 7 mm and 5 mm
stripes for shape B too.</span></span></h1>

<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Template plastic is what bag designers or cloth designers use as
templates for fabric products. It is semi translucent with frosty grain,
flexible and easy to draw and cut. There are two kind of thickness, in 0.3 mm
and 1.0 mm, I use 0.3 mm most of time. They sold in variety of size, mine is 45
x 60 cm, you should find them easily in DIY shops.</span>
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Buy some more of these sheets, for we will need them when
building bellows.</span>

<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Place template sheet onto the drawings we just finished, trace
the patterns by pen, then cut them by utility knife.</span>
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Be carefully tracing and cutting templates as precisely as
possible, for this template will define bellows detail.</span>

</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I would leave some space for top and bottom of the shape A/B as
images show, it would help when outlining extra rib pairs.</span>
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">So totally there are 3 templates now, shape A, shape S and
zigzag ruler for rib pairs.</span>
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Below we will build the last template: Bellows layout
template.</span>

<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bellows Layout</span></h3>
<h1 dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; line-height: 1.38; margin: 10pt 0px 0pt; position: relative;">
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">1. with a big sheet of paper (I use roll kraft paper for packing
parcel, or majhong table paper), trace first taper A.</span>
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZcdwYa9LJPy_KmMBk1zDiP2awdAnSpjSKckzirk2BVm3UJ6vKmPzX8WlhfXBRG6fyNxs_bIcEMpIQV903774mM9oz0fO6Q7v0lhb9ibyqBPA3mC9RGA9OjFIjb9tjNT4sxnb1uDyDdxo/s1600/corel016.jpg"><span style="font-size: small;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZcdwYa9LJPy_KmMBk1zDiP2awdAnSpjSKckzirk2BVm3UJ6vKmPzX8WlhfXBRG6fyNxs_bIcEMpIQV903774mM9oz0fO6Q7v0lhb9ibyqBPA3mC9RGA9OjFIjb9tjNT4sxnb1uDyDdxo/s1600/corel016.jpg" width="197" /></span></a>
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">2. Place zigzag template by the inner side of shape A, make sure
the zigzag tip exactly at the taper bottom corner, trace the zigzag. Be sure the
zigzag line extends out the taper, at least two folds.</span>
</span><br />

</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Do exactly same zigzag line tracing at the other side of shape
A, but in opposite direction.</span>
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHYdAZ7r7wo8InmvlToYBooMJKTsa_5LMFHcZ_439_3mae42x8G6RYtX1f2WV8nwH6ubCuTSTxyQyYECAN3qWLmBb0Wz0CmlSLGf2TXg68kv-5Mn6r1xh-u5Yk94MaDuS_2ECE678o19A/s1600/corel018.jpg"><span style="font-size: small;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHYdAZ7r7wo8InmvlToYBooMJKTsa_5LMFHcZ_439_3mae42x8G6RYtX1f2WV8nwH6ubCuTSTxyQyYECAN3qWLmBb0Wz0CmlSLGf2TXg68kv-5Mn6r1xh-u5Yk94MaDuS_2ECE678o19A/s1600/corel018.jpg" width="157" /></span></a>
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">3. Now place the template B, make sue taper edge align the
zigzag tips, and taper bottom corner exactly at the zigzag tip, AND ONE STAIR
BELOW the shape A, trace the first shape B.</span>
</span><br />

</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">4. Follow the step 2, draw zigzag line at the other side of
shape B.</span>
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc-ThiOF7HPk3_xNy2L1B3_daESwADIDdZCFYjXPrmuNrdmu3ZVVhO9xOWduD6s8ZDmmm9G9X8odqXAA9h9AnsvcBhg38HorXp7oiLpOhKQ6QaXGeB0JJT-Cx7ehq1zDn2XZWeXiJvKxI/s1600/corel021.jpg"><span style="font-size: small;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc-ThiOF7HPk3_xNy2L1B3_daESwADIDdZCFYjXPrmuNrdmu3ZVVhO9xOWduD6s8ZDmmm9G9X8odqXAA9h9AnsvcBhg38HorXp7oiLpOhKQ6QaXGeB0JJT-Cx7ehq1zDn2XZWeXiJvKxI/s1600/corel021.jpg" width="304" /></span></a>
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">5. Repeat steps mentioned previously, draw another shape A and
B, with zigzag lines. What you should get on kraft paper looks like this.</span>
</span><br />

</span>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">6. Outline the rib pair limits</span>
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Leave at least one pair of ribs away from the shape edge, draw
the lines at both ends indicating the rib pair limits.</span>
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">What the shape A/B indicate are the precise bellows size we are
building, and those exceeding ribs make sure we leave the space for frame
gluing.</span>
</span><br />

</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">As we did to other 3 templates, tracing the layout onto template
plastic, then cut it out. Notice that zigzag lines are not necessary to
trace.</span>

Here is my bellows basic dimension</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Back opening frame is slightly bigger than real frame opening (120x90 mm), and you can tell that <span style="color: red;">rib pair width is 14 mm (135-121 mm), meaning each rib has about 7 mm width.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
Front opening frame has only outer size been concerned. (66x60 mm)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
And the length of bellows will be about 195 mm, as described above.</span><br />

<br />
I found micro fiber leatherette source which is thin enough for making good bellows outer layer. Just tested one in red color, it has strong skin outside with leather like surface, mild reflecting light, looks like nature leather, and cotton fabric as lining, provides non stretchable stability, this is important, for gluing outer layer onto the rib/inner layer combination, you will be thankful for this non elastic character.<br />

Less than 0.3mm in thickness, micro fiber leatherette is waterproof outside, for mild raining day. material is soft, easy to apply, I am happy with it.</div>

<br />
As a 4x5 format camera, Byron is set as a snap shooter, you can take as many film as possible when subject appears comparing to view or press camera, this camera is dedicated to those film holders who can hold as many films as possible.<br />
<br />
To 4x5 sheet films, there are film holders like Grafmatic 1268 6 pack film holder, Fuji Quickchange 8 pack film holder available, and they perfectly match with Byron back system, no need any modification, or <a href="http://salihonbashome.blogspot.tw/2013/10/modify-fujifilm-quickchange-holder-for.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">just a minor job to do</a>. But for those user who gets used to use Double Side Slide film holder, which needs Graflex back to "sandwich" holder on camera back, which Byron lacks, I proposed <a href="http://salihonbashome.blogspot.tw/2010/02/to-better-fit-regular-double-dark-slide.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">some ideas t</a>o adapt it on Byron, not very ideal, but works.<br />
<br />
Sometimes I need to use DDS film holder, like the situations when I would like to have the negatives developed individually with different solutions or developing time, that is quite normal if you apply Zone System on them, especially if you use developing tube like <a href="http://btzs.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">BTZS </a>tubes, it is very easy to achieve.<br />

<br />
Actually I am proud of the function that Byron back holds the pull-out slide when shooting, in the video top above shows that Byron rotating lock holds the slide, not only frees your hand, and best of all, reminds you to slides it back when you finish shooting and ready to flip the holder for another shoot. Think about it, you don't have spare hand to hold it, and there won't be a table besides you to keep the slide, for Byron is operated when you are in mobile status, you are not in a studio!<br />
<br />
Ralf sent some DDS holders to me, asking to modify them following the ideas I proposed, to have two ditches at each side, let clamps grab the holder more securely.<br />
<br />
I inspected the idea I proposed, and felt that there are space to improve.<br />
<br />
Looking the ditches I had to make at side of holder, you will see that clamp bites in the holder, at center high above the bottom, and because both side of holder could be bottom side, two ditches had to be made, to accept the bite.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_gvRcWa2LHhg/S4Z_PeA16KI/AAAAAAAAFLg/dGNdWOoBG8o/s640/%E5%85%A8%E8%9E%A2%E5%B9%95%E6%93%B7%E5%8F%96%202010225%20%E4%B8%8B%E5%8D%88%20094559.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="230" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_gvRcWa2LHhg/S4Z_PeA16KI/AAAAAAAAFLg/dGNdWOoBG8o/s400/%E5%85%A8%E8%9E%A2%E5%B9%95%E6%93%B7%E5%8F%96%202010225%20%E4%B8%8B%E5%8D%88%20094559.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What clamps really grab the holder is thin leftover that between two ditches, which is thin and in plastic makes it fragile, I am not so confident of it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gvRcWa2LHhg/S3Y04W9YhlI/AAAAAAAAE_M/uMZVj8fm7kA/s640/P2131280.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gvRcWa2LHhg/S3Y04W9YhlI/AAAAAAAAE_M/uMZVj8fm7kA/s400/P2131280.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
That thin layer of plastic, who bear the burden to takes the pressure from clamp, in my calculation, if film holder is 11mm in thickness, would be 0.6mm only, and if holder thickness gets more thicker, it maybe as thin as 0.5 mm.<br />
<br />
I thought it should be better in stronger material, best steel, or even better in stainless.<br />
<br />
So there goes the new improvement. Images bellow shows a rather big ditch was drilled each side, clamp would bite in the holder without any difficulty, but without a center layer to be pressed, clamps can not tightly hold the holder.<br />
<br />

<br />
Inserted in a stainless sheet into the center of the ditch, you can see the difference between two ditch style, and original holder without ditch.<br />

Masked putty with carbon fiber sheet at side, so here we have a beautiful DDS film holder ready for Byron.<br />

Not expecting to get good quality images, but at least it do open the chance letting old negatives share on the web.<br />
<br />
What I dreaming of, is to open a small cafe, with this gadget on every table, so customers can sit chatting, and scan their negatives, kill some time and bring back some memories.<br />
<br />
And since they had release APP for scanning, no need to worry how to get proper profiles of different films to turn a negative image back to a positive image, I think we can build our own scanner for cell phone, for negatives other than 35 mm format. That is just a combination of lightbox and a fixed height support only, no big deal, I want to digitize and file my 120 and 4x5 format negatives.<br />

It equips with built-in Ysarex 127/4.7 lens, and has Polaroid 3x4 instant film holder attached, a typical conversion as can be seen in auction market.<br />

I took off the RF part, housing got putty-ed and re-spray paint, RF mechanism were cleaned and calibrated all over, re-aligned the overlay images, and replaced the cold shoe into a Byron version, so you can do off camera flashing, like <a href="http://salihonbashome.blogspot.tw/2013/12/cold-foot-make-it-hot.html" target="_blank">last post</a> shows.<br />

The one that famous handsome US actor Bard owned, and everyone loves 4x5 would definitily loves to have one too.<br />
<br />
Client sent it to me, asking to replace the focus knob that seems cool but awkward to manipulate, and get rid of those decorations to "make it looks like a normal camera".<br />
<br />
I didn't know what those decoration for at the first sight, till I took off those decoration plate. Oh, there is one hole at the RF housing, beneath the decoration plate, cracked.<br />
<br />
That explain something.<br />

And the viewing window, converted into a round shape, claimed that improves viewing, I compared this with original viewing window, can not tell any difference, so I figured that must be my own problem, I am dull in some area, especially this.<br />
<br />
I thought maybe I can learn something on this, I turned up the housing, to see how the view window were converted, then I found out that it was made by very sophisticated skillful hand, obviously, which beyond my ability and guts and I don't dare to copy, no mention to sell it out.<br />
<br />

<br />
The RF housing was cut off at the end, to match the cutting body, so obviously there will be a cutting phase to compensate, that need some putty. Many converted Polaroids I had seen, were all get exposy putty with enough amount, to ensure that fragile end will hold the job.<br />
<br />
But not this one, I thought the builder must be following kind of "lighter the better" philosophy, no matter how easy the housing cracks at that part, that was not his problem.<br />

<br />
Managed to bring this cracking housing back to normal, the result is somewhat OK to me. Oh, and I replaced the cold shoe, hope it could be as good as the original one, that sticks with sponge tape onto camera body, so bold mind and so creative that I never think of.<br />

Replacing focus knob is an easy job, but I do admire that original converted knob, so pretty, so unique, and so hard to use.<br />

And the infinity stop, I replaced that Velcro version conversion has, for I still can not solve the secrets that fix lens with Velcro and sponge tape. I took off the Velcro, bring back into the original one from Polaroid, and added a steel plate to ensure the fix position. When replacing this part, I made the i.stop calibration, found that must be my calibration procedure has something to improve, for my calibration result did not agree with it, hope my client can live with my error.</div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">This was listed by a gentleman from Germany, just front and rear element, no barrel, no shutter, as is, but in nearly brand new condition. I checked the web and found nothing on this lens, no the dimension of the thread, or any example photo made by it, but the hell, I grabbed it anyway.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Planned to adapt it onto a custom 6x9 or 6x12 camera, maybe the image circle is not enough for 6x12, then how about 6x11 or 6x10.5? I have some old six-20 cameras, there are in wider format, some frames measured at about 11cm at width, I thought that may be a good candidate for a pano folder.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">But then I forgot it, since I don't know where to find a suitable barrel/ shutter for it, and that silver rim looks like a fly sauce won't let go, so I wrapped it and stored it deep in my dry box.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Today I took it out, unscrewed 3 tiny screws at side of front element, and helped by some gadget, finally I took off the sauce.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> glass is purely beautiful, thick and glued together, crystal clear, without any color, (meaning no coating??}</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">And then I measured the dimension of the thread, about 38mm in dimension for this part, but the front most glass which separated from this thick part is much larger, you can see them at lower left of the image below.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I did not take off the rear element, but manged to measure the dimension of thread, about 35mm. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Well, does it mean now I can find a way to make it adapting onto some shutter, right? right? </span><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">right!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Anyone has experience of this lens?</span></div>
