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...

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...
