Toyo-View 4x5 Wide Angle Bag Bellows

Wide angle Bellows or sometimes referred to as bag bellows is essential to the Large Format View Camera kit.

When using standard accordion bellows with a lens of short focal length, the bellows become a rigid and compact unit, which will not allow you to employ any movements.

However when using bag bellows, this limitation is completely non existent.

The bellows shown here is in pretty bad shape aesthetically, however it is completely functional. This type of deterioration is typical of Toyo and a maybe a few other brands.  I believe this is a combination of time and improper storage, however I have never been fortunate enough to have or see a new one.

Somewhere I read that covering them with talcum powder prevents them from being sticky, once they get to this point.

My solution was to take the frames and use them with Sinar bag bellows, but I am now using it with my Horseman 4x5.

Toyo-View 4x5 Wide Angle Bag Bellows Mfr# 180-693 (International #11421) 45G 45GX VX125 45C, Omega-View 45F, 45C
Toyo Wide Angle Bag Bellows are used to allow the front and rear standards to be moved closer together when using short focal length lenses. The design of standard bellows has physical limitations in moving the standards close as with bag bellows which are virtually completely unobstructed.
This Auction
Though this bellows may be light tight, the outer shell is badly deteriorating which makes it a complete "STICKY MESS." Also it leaves behind its sticky, messy residue. I read somewhere that covering it with talc or baby powder helps.  Please don't hold me accountable for any mess that this bellows causes.  The inner lining seems near perfect. The frames appear to be in descent condition short of a sticker and writing.
