I'm fitting a Goez lens, about 4' diameter, onto an old aerial camera. Â I don't have a lens cap for the lens, and thought someone might have made one, or know...
That should be 4 in. diam. Â Sorry for causing any heart palpitations. Marty ________________________________________________________________________ More new...
This should not be too hard. You must decide about materials (lifetime), but I think even some commercial ones were hardly better than cardboard. Anyway, make...

Marty, If you take the lens to your grocery store, you might find a lid that would fit your lens. For instance, coffee can lids are 4" across. One of them just...
Hi Marty, I have made plenty of odd-size lens caps over the years, basically using the same method as they used back them for making morocco lens caps, but of...

Hi, I would think a strip of heavy felt glued on the inside of your piece going around the outside of the lens.This if snug would give some holding power for...
I took my lens to the hardware store. I found a PVC pipe cap in the plumbing section and padded it out with a little self-sticking felt I also found at the...
Thanks to the several members who sent suggestions. Â All together, they suggest a process that I think will work for me. Â I'll let you know how it works. ...
I am gathering up materials to start another home made camera, and was wondering if anyone has tried using regular black vinyl from a fabric store to...
Ivan, If you wanted a bag bellows, the vinyl simulated leather used for reupholstering chairs would work. For regular bellows, it's better to use the "darkroom...
It does seem like everyone who has had success has used two layers of material, I guess one for support and one for light proofing. I've seem a couple...
It is a matter of taste but I would be happiest to see two layers, both able to block light completely. In such a case, a tiny failure in one layer is ...

Thanks everyone for the info it looks like Porter's will be the way to go and maybe save the vinyl for the outer shell for color if red or green is wanted....
Hey gang, I have an older style Cambo compendium lens shade that I was going to adapt to my Calumet CC-400 4x5. Well I found the correct shade for that camera...
Yes, put up a picture or two. I might be interested. I sacrificed one of these to make a 4x5 point and shoot, and I can't recall whether I have been able to...
I posted the pictures of the shade on my blog. I changed the date just so it would not show up on the main page. It has not been for sale for two years. ...
... I'm a machinist,what kind of parts are you looking for and how many is a small run? Does anyone have a reasonably priced machinist or know of one that can...
... I have three parts I need made for a MF view camera I am building. I need 4 each of 2 parts, and 2 of 2 other parts, and the machining is mainly rounding...
I have access to Prototrack CNC 2 axis machines, it sounds like your parts will be rather easy. Can you send me some DWG's? ... I have three parts I need made...
I keep telling myself there is no way I could make a replacement bellows (that fits, works, etc.) for an Agfa Record III. I'm not sure I want to/can afford to...
Murray, I have never replaced small bellows, just 12x20, 8x10, and 4x5. Especially at first, I was surprised how easy and how quickly it all went. I imagine...
An idea I have always fanced is to make a bag bellowsfor an application like this. I would understand if you want to return the camera to pristine condition. ...
